MySQL backend fixes for Python 3.
With Python 2, text sent to and from MySQL is treated as bytes in
Python. The database may be recorded by MySQL as having some other
encoding (latin1 being the default in some MySQL versions - Roundup
does not set an encoding explicitly, unlike in back_postgresql), but
as long as MySQL's notion of the connection encoding agrees with its
notion of the database encoding, no conversions actually take place
and the bytes are stored and returned as-is.
With Python 3, text sent to and from MySQL is treated as Python
Unicode strings. When the database and connection encoding is latin1,
that means the bytes stored in the database under Python 2 are
interpreted as latin1 and converted from that to Unicode, producing
incorrect results for any non-ASCII characters; furthermore, if trying
to store new non-ASCII data in the database under Python 3, any
non-latin1 characters produce errors.
This patch arranges for both the connection and database character
sets to be UTF-8 when using Python 3, and documents a need to export
and import the database when moving from Python 2 to Python 3 with
this backend.

.TH ROUNDUP-MAILGW 1 "24 January 2003" .SH NAME roundup-mailgw \- mail gateway for roundup .SH SYNOPSIS \fBroundup-mailgw\fP \fIinstance_home\fP [\fImethod\fP] .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB-v\fP Print version and exit. .TP \fB-C\fP \fIhyperdb class\fP specify a tracker class - one of msg (the default), issue, file, user - to manipulate with -S options .TP \fB-S\fP \fIproperty\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP[\fB;\fP\fIproperty\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP] \fIpairs\fP specify the values to set on the class specified by -C using the same format as the Subject line property manipulations .SH DESCRIPTION The roundup mail gateway may be called in one of three ways: .IP \(bu with an instance home as the only argument, .IP \(bu with both an instance home and a mail spool file, or .IP \(bu with both an instance home and a pop server account. .PP \fBPIPE\fP .br In the first case, the mail gateway reads a single message from the standard input and submits the message to the roundup.mailgw module. \fBUNIX mailbox\fP .br In the second case, the gateway reads all messages from the mail spool file and submits each in turn to the roundup.mailgw module. The file is emptied once all messages have been successfully handled. The file is specified as: \fImailbox /path/to/mailbox\fP In all of the following the username and password can be stored in a ~/.netrc file. In this case only the server name need be specified on the command-line. The username and/or password will be prompted for if not supplied on the command-line or in ~/.netrc. \fBPOP\fP .br In the third case, the gateway reads all messages from the POP server specified and submits each in turn to the roundup.mailgw module. The server is specified as: \fBpop\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP .br The username and password may be omitted: \fBpop\fP \fIusername\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP \fBpop\fP \fIserver\fP .br are both valid. The username and/or password will be prompted for if not supplied on the command-line. \fBAPOP\fP .br Same as POP, but using Authenticated POP: \fBapop\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP \fBIMAP\fP .br Connect to an IMAP server. This supports the same notation as that of POP mail. \fBimap\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP .br It also allows you to specify a specific mailbox other than INBOX using this format: \fBimap\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver mailbox\fP \fBIMAPS\fP .br Connect to an IMAP server over ssl. This supports the same notation as IMAP. \fBimaps\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP [\fImailbox\fP] .SH AUTHOR This manpage was written by Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@debian.org> for the Debian distribution of roundup.
