At some point we need to transition from mysql-5.1 to mysql-5.5. We
would like to do this before the freeze though we appreciate that
time
is now short. We arrived at this position as the Debian MySQL Team
became
increasingly understaffed. It is better now but not ideal.
We certainly will get mysql-5.5 into unstable in the next few weeks.
The question
is can we migrate all the dependencies over and drop mysql-5.1
before the
freeze?
*sigh* apparently you uploaded this to sid without even waiting for
an
answer, so we now have an uncoordinated libmysqlclient SONAME bump on
our hands...
Also, these changes look very wrong:
* Removed unnecessary build dependencies:
- procps as it is required by cmake, cf. #96768
- zlib1g newer version required by cmake
- libtool obsoleted by cmake
- file required by debhelper
If you need the packages as part of your build process, you need to be
build-depending on them. There's a reason that policy explicitly
mentions not relying on transitive dependencies.
As far as I can see the upstream packages that are likely to require
recompilation are:
That's an awfully long list to be breaking without coordination. I'm
not amused.
Indeed.
