As part of the Libdrizzle Redux project I created an example tool
which was bundled with it which will connect to a MySQL server as
a slave and download the binary logs to local files. This
was developed as a quick example of what can be done with the new
binlog API.
Two things quickly became apparent:
- We shouldn't really be distributing applications in a library
- I am going to be developing more useful tools around libdrizzle and they certainly shouldn't be in the same package
- BSD is a fantastic license for a library, but I personally prefer GPLv2 for applications
With this in mind I have pulled the drizzle_binlogs utility from
Libdrizzle trunk (and therefore won't be in the 5.1.3 release)
and put it in its own repository. It has been licensed
appropriately (GPLv2) and I am already beginning to develop more
tools to go with it.
