This tool is a concept at the moment. The idea is that you should be able to take a collection of binary logs and execute a command such as

mk-log-server /var/log/mysql-bin-* --port 12345

This should start a mysqld instance that has absolutely no data, and which listens on TCP port 12345. Now you should be able to connect to it (it uses --skip-grant-tables, so it is wide open) and replicate from it.

This technique is useful for applying binary logs to a server. You could use mysqlbinlog, but it is far less flexible than replication, and less understood. It is also much more likely to have bugs.

The tool has no functionality yet. The roadmap is

• Implement and test the basic functionality sketched out in the script.
