Details

The init script for mythbackend erroneously refuses to start mythbackend without mysqld running on localhost. many mythtv setups use mysqld on a remote system and not on localhost.

If mysqld checking is still desired, a conf.d entry should be used to enable or disable the check as is common with many other daemons.
This task depends upon

The newest mysqld (v 5.0.75-3) ini script creates its pid file in $MYSQLD_ROOT/$HOSTNAME.pid which causes mythbackend to refuse starting. Either the ini script for mythbackend should check this new location, or maybe the check should be removed?

I believe the check should be removed completely, or modified to simply emit a warning of some sort. I run mythbackend and frontend on a machine separate from where I run the mysqld it's associated with.

Check Removed in SVN 25862

I will release a new Package when  FS#11890  is also fixed.

in avoidance of of duplicated efforts:

I cannot participate on Bug Squashing Day. But will do a 0.22 release tomorrow and hope to get rid of most bugs.
