I've redone the basic smoke testing for verifying just the package upgrades. No issues were found during testing.
These tests do not include full Ubuntu release upgrades; They were only run on 16.04. To include 5.5 I rebuilt it from the current 5.5.47 source in Debian. The 5.6 packages were used from the main Ubuntu repository, and the 5.7 packages were installed from the ppa at https://launchpad.net/~mysql-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/mysql-5.7 For each test I added minimal database data. One table with a couple of rows and a test user with a password. I ran through each test both with and without setting a password for the root user. For each test I verified that: * mysql_upgrade was run successfully during installation (except for the clean install. * If the root user had a password that the password was still valid * If the root user had a blank password that the auth_socket plugin was enabled, requiring host system root access to log in with it. * That the test user login was still valid * That the test table data was intact Upgrade paths tested: * Fresh 5.7 install * 5.7 installed on existing 5.7 database * Fresh 5.6 install, upgraded to 5.7 * Fresh 5.5 install, upgraded to 5.7 * Fresh 5.5 install, upgraded to 5.6, then upgraded to 5.7 * Fresh 5.5 install, upgraded to 5.6, mysql_upgrade run, then upgraded to 5.7 We'll move on to more comprehensive upgrade testing including a full test database and Ubuntu release upgrades. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528583 Title: [FFe] Please update to MySQL 5.7 series To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1528583/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
