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-SERVER 1 "27 July 2004" .SH NAME roundup-server \- start roundup web server .SH SYNOPSIS \fBroundup-server\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fBname=\fP\fItracker home\fP]* .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB-C\fP \fIfile\fP Use options read from the configuration file (see below). .TP \fB-n\fP \fIhostname\fP Sets the host name or IP address to listen on. Default is localhost (127.0.0.1). Use 0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces on the system. .TP \fB-p\fP \fIport\fP Sets the port to listen on (default: 8080). .TP \fB-d\fP \fIfile\fP Daemonize, and write the server's PID to the nominated file. .TP \fB-l\fP \fIfile\fP Sets a filename to log to (instead of stdout). This is required if the -d option is used. .TP \fB-i\fP \fIfile\fP Sets a filename to use as a template for generating the tracker index page. The variable "trackers" is available to the template and is a dict of all configured trackers. .TP \fB-s\fP Enables to use of SSL. .TP \fB-e\fP \fIfile\fP Sets a filename containing the PEM file to use for SSL. If left blank, a temporary self-signed certificate will be used. .TP \fB-N\fP Log client machine names instead of IP addresses (much slower). .TP \fB-u\fP \fIUID\fP Runs the Roundup web server as this UID. .TP \fB-g\fP \fIGID\fP Runs the Roundup web server as this GID. .TP \fB-d\fP \fIPIDfile\fP Run the server in the background and write the server's PID to the file indicated by PIDfile. The -l option \fBmust\fP be specified if -d is used. .TP \fB-v\fP Print version and exit. .TP \fB-h\fP Print help and exit. .TP \fBname=\fP\fItracker home\fP Sets the tracker home(s) to use. The \fBname\fP variable is how the tracker is identified in the URL (it's the first part of the URL path). The \fItracker home\fP variable is the directory that was identified when you did "roundup-admin init". You may specify any number of these name=home pairs on the command-line. For convenience, you may edit the TRACKER_HOMES variable in the roundup-server file instead. Make sure the name part doesn't include any url-unsafe characters like spaces, as these confuse the cookie handling in browsers like IE. .SH EXAMPLES .TP .B roundup-server -p 9000 bugs=/var/tracker reqs=/home/roundup/group1 Start the server on port \fB9000\fP serving two trackers; one under \fB/bugs\fP and one under \fB/reqs\fP. .SH CONFIGURATION FILE See the "admin_guide" in the Roundup "doc" directory. .SH AUTHOR This manpage was written by Bastian Kleineidam <calvin@debian.org> for the Debian distribution of roundup. The main author of roundup is Richard Jones <richard@users.sourceforge.net>.
