The plan we have discussed is to baseline on 5.6 as the baseline for compatibility; Robie Basak has been working on the mysql-5.5 -> 5.6 upgrade and I should be in a position to review and sponsor that in the next couple of weeks. In terms of forks/variants, Percona have been working on Percona Server and Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.6 packaging which I have been reviewing; I believe that these are in a state where they are ready for upload - again I'll be looking at these in the next few weeks. In terms of ongoing (security) support for Percona and MariaDB, this is also a concern that I have; My take is that there needs to be a clear maintainer from within the pkg-mysql team for each variant, otherwise general and security updates will not be sustainable. As Otto has already stated, he has MariaDB pretty much in hand. He's also doing a great job on security updates for Ubuntu 14.04 (nice work Otto). For Percona, George Lorch has taken ownership of the percona-* packages and has put in alot of process and automation around package production. So long as these maintenance commitments continue, I don't think we should be blocking variants from release. - -- James Page Ubuntu and Debian Developer james.p...@ubuntu.com jamesp...@debian.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUBEb6AAoJEL/srsug59jDH7UQAKC4nXUue4Klkng80Pks83br wm/FTHkVMwxaxpPPDVaVmg/drIa7KFUoGggPquB+zrQJeyWUVmVB8zEOOks7vjAc Zvl+bpRVZ172ixX1TALg/eMHyj2rg+LDXLExzSu0p7IZOxR7haKNgJR8ZwMMvi95 5p7KOGERp4eCHNFU/q6frK8Xxvp8BYWlckDRVHz/RSARNMQRylepbIKWXwPcIuMH Oy8JrLsZPDK+6zJ8LFIR3QxPZFJQUyBh6ahHn8hp1gdZ5aynkDLbXKJz/GzsNnEk GB7V2XmfwFDYzRa2nzYENDpFPMj3fhKgqmwvLYZhFQAQW9YjNA0qm3w3v/lsTBzt wp4hVEP3M+hjMLqeQ5H043VAW5sVECPNf5zyxkHbVePaHU9Teu3S0++e7xU0nF94 KJ/S70EVaZwTqSX6sfZBk+ksq8I+Wj58YpMBjSLQ/Ls5rk7EqgouG3QiBmKtzQz4 8uk9e7PweoBy4unRXwnj+V4G+xwtKcAv+6S+f95GGfEyZwckn75LB19KqqnO/mZZ L6xSBXou7z09WDHuxtfg8y/8vQOGmtAcTnpalhdvbMH0BJAMBiEod/msn3I6wmA1 dUGNw2h1GFRDkjk0NITeM4vMJJY/X6dEZ5PZ3qwKJwZmcOg4bBzXThB/iN+2pp7R BaDNkqY9a+9rEIvnsai9 =naxk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
