Nice! Can you summarize what what the new real/virtual packages will be called and what packages are supposed to put into their Depends/Build-Depends? (General packages that can work with any vendor as well as packages specific to a single vendor.) I see that the new unified repository is on alioth for mysql-5.7 and mysql-defaults. I've now updated my repo at git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/users/anbe/tmp/mysql.git with a proposed integration of mysql-5.6, too. There are also branches for dropping the mysql-common package from both mysql-5.6 and mysql-5.7 once mysql-defaults is uploaded. > If you want to have a say, please do so now before we finalize the > solution we currently believe is the best one. > > I expect to upload this new scheme to experimental in a few days for a > larger audience to test and verify.
