Description Karel Volný 2013-12-10 13:00:45 UTC 
cloning to track failure in our test for the appropriate RHEL version

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1039975 +++

Description of problem:
Trying to run mysql_config without parameters, it returns nonzero exit code. But this is not an error, the application should return zero.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mariadb-5.5.33a-1.fc19

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mysql_config >/dev/null; echo $?

Actual results:
1

Expected results:
0

Additional info:
from the manpage:

"If you invoke mysql_config with no options, it displays a list of all options that it supports, and their values:"

so, invoking without parameters is correct usage ...

note also that it'd be nice to support the "--help" option, but that's more RFE material than a bug
Comment 2 Honza Horak 2013-12-12 15:57:33 UTC 
Let's wait for upstream opinion.
Comment 3 Honza Horak 2014-01-07 16:08:55 UTC 
Unless upstream accepts it soon, I'm moving it for RHEL-7.1.
Comment 4 Honza Horak 2014-01-21 12:36:16 UTC 
Now it is quite late for such minor changes in RHEL-7, so deferring to upstream. If they accept that change, it will most probably get into RHEL-7 together with some security update/rebase.
