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.

Thanks
