Public bug reported: I'm filing a feature freeze exception for Robie Basak who is currently not available. Robie has done work under blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-u-databases to get mysql-5.6 into main and replace 5.5 as the default mysql-server.
Robie has mysql-5.6 packages available at https://code.launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/ubuntu/experimental/+packages . They're good, but he had this comment: | mysql-5.6: ready for upload, just not done because I wanted to | coordinate with an archive admin for removal of mysql-5.5 and subsequent | NBS binary packages at the same time. This smooths the upgrade path for | users following Utopic because apt seems to prefer to remove | mysql-server otherwise, and not push 5.5 to 5.6 (but users could do that | manually later). The note about apt preferring to remove mysql-server was concerning to infinity, so he suggested a slightly later-than-FeatureFreeze upload rather than an uploading of Robie's work as it is. So, this is a FFe for the work of getting 5.6 into main and dropping 5.5. ** Affects: mysql-5.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359349 Title: FFe: make mysql 5.6 default mysql-server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1359349/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
