If you do koha-create --request-db, need to change the user or db name, and then later do koha-create --populate-db, it doesn't work as it makes up the name from the command line, rather than referencing the config files.

Created attachment 4464 [details] [review] Bug 6482 - allow the mysql details to be changed during koha-create This allows the database details (username and database name in particular) to be modified in between a koha-create --request-db and --populate-db. Most useful when you discover that the username is too long or something. Now, when populating the database, the connection information is reloaded from the koha-conf.xml rather than being generated from the instance name.

QA comment I'm unable to say anything about this patch. Chris, either you wait for Ian opinion, or you apply it, up to you.
Only affects the packages, in use in production, pushing
Does this mitigate bug 7428? It was pushed. Does that mean the bug is fixed or does the version need updating to spread it elsewhere?
They're not really connected (although, it was bug 7428 that made me implement this.) I think whatever is added for that one will partially obviate the need for this one, but will improve things overall.
There have been no further reports of problems so I am marking this bug resolved.
