[Lsb-infrastructure] New LSB Navigator 1.9.6 and LSB DB Scripts 1.7

We have prepared a new bunch of updates for the LSB Database, Scripts and
Navigator.

The sources are in the unofficial/ispras-lsb Bazaar branches (dbadmin module
for Navigator, specdb, build_env, misc_test and lsbspec modules for DB &
scripts). Tarball with init files for community tables is available at the
ftp server (
<ftp://ftp.linuxfoundation.org/pub/lsb/updates/lsb-navigator-data/community_
data.tar.bz2>
ftp://ftp.linuxfoundation.org/pub/lsb/updates/lsb-navigator-data/community_d
ata.tar.bz2). The Navigator's 'static' directory on the server (which is not
stored in Bazaar) is not changed.

Among significant changes in db-related stuff, one should mention new sgml
pages for 169 Qt4 symbols (tests for them are already present in Azov-Qt4,
and now the documentation is ready), and support for
TypeMember.TMappearedin/TMwithdrawnin fields in scripts - that is, we can
now track 'history' of type members in the similar way like we do for
interfaces, types and other elements.

Full lists of changes are available at

As usual, the working preview of the current Navigator release can be seen
at  <http://linuxtesting.org/navigator/commons/welcome.php>
http://linuxtesting.org/navigator/commons/welcome.php.

An important note about Navigator setup - in order to setup db access, one
should now create config/connection.inc file from connection.inc.tmpl
template and set all necessary values there.

Note also that Navigator now uses mysqli (MySQL Improved) PHP extension to
work with the database; this extension is enabled by default in modern
systems, but may require additional installation/reconfiguration in older
distributions. 

As for DB setup, specdb/makefile now has FILEOPTS variable (declared at the
top) which can be used to adjust the way mysql handles data files. In
particular, one can add "--local-infile" option there to avoid known issues
with selinux, which by default forbids direct file reading from custom
folder for mysql.



Regards,

Vladimir.
