Package: mysql-client-5.0 Version: 5.0.51a-5 Severity: minor The manual page for 'mysqlcheck' says:
mysqlcheck has a special feature compared to other client programs. The default behavior of checking tables (--check) can be changed by renaming the binary. If you want to have a tool that repairs tables by default, you should just make a copy of mysqlcheck named mysqlrepair, or make a symbolic link to mysqlcheck named mysqlrepair. If you invoke mysqlrepair, it repairs tables. The following names can be used to change mysqlcheck default behavior: +--------------+----------------------------------+ |mysqlrepair | The default option is --repair | +--------------+----------------------------------+ |mysqlanalyze | The default option is --analyze | +--------------+----------------------------------+ |mysqloptimize | The default option is --optimize | +--------------+----------------------------------+ First it says to create these symlinks but later it says that you can use them. Maybe we should include these symlinks in the package.
