-current master branch of cdist and submit the git url containing the type for
-inclusion to the mailinglist **cdist at cdist -- at -- l.schottelius.org**
-or open a pull request at http://github.com/telmich/cdist.

+===========================
+Benedikt Koeppel <code@benediktkoeppel.ch>
+
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__mysql_server - Manage a MySQL server
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This cdist type allows you to install a MySQL database server. The
+__mysql_server type also takes care of a few basic security tweaks that are 
+normally done by running the mysql_secure_installation script that is provided
+with MySQL.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+password::
+   The root password to set.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+no_my_cnf::
+   The /root/.my.cnf file is used to temporary store the root password when doing
+   the mysql_secure_installation. If you want to have your own .my.cnf file, then
+   specify --no_my_cnf "true".
+   Cdist will then place your original /root/.my.cnf back once cdist has run.
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# to install a MySQL server
+__mysql_server
+
+# to install a MySQL server, remove remote access, remove test databases 
+# similar to mysql_secure_installation, specify the root password
+__mysql_server --password "Uu9jooKe"
+# this will also write a /root/.my.cnf file
+
+# if you don't want cdist to write a /root/.my.cnf file permanently, specify
+# the --no_my_cnf option
+__mysql_server --password "Uu9jooKe" --no_my_cnf
