MySQL Wheezy

Closed this issue 10 years ago · 14 comments

Leaving this comment here although i am totally aware that you wont be building MySQL 5.5 for Wheezy but plan to build MySQL 5.6 or one of the popular variants

Personally i am +1 on mariadb being the DB of choice

However theres probably more benefit and consistency on continuing to build vanilla mysql 5.6 because for example mariadb 10 is not a totally complete replacement of 5.6 currently (its still missing a few features such as innodb fulltext indexes working) and they maintain there own debian repos anyway.

Percona have there own repo's so in some respects it doesn't make sense to duplicate that work even though i would still welcome it as its one less repo to check with apt :)

i see that 5.6 is now in github but not on mirrors, is there any news by the way of a progress update for database support from dotdeb in wheezy?

MySQL 5.6 needs some more work before being published.
Still looking at MariaDB.

Hey guys,

I finally have some MySQL 5.6.16 packages to test. Anyone interested?

Answer 5 · 2014-03-12T21:23:23.000Z

Ok, I've set up a temporary repository for Wheezy amd/i386. Just add the following line to your sources.list and you'll be able to install MySQL 5.6 on your boxes :

deb http://packages.dotdeb.org wheezy-tmp all

Any feedback welcome.

Thanks for the work gplessis. Just tested, looks ok for me :-)

Answer 7 · 2014-03-19T05:53:18.000Z

I forgot to publish i386 packages. They're now available. Your feedbacks are welcome.

Answer 8 · 2014-04-02T05:20:47.000Z

Thanks for your help. MySQL 5.6.17 packages for Wheezy amd64/i386 have been published on the main Dotdeb repo : http://www.dotdeb.org/2014/04/02/mysql-5-6-17-for-wheezy/

For fans of MariaDB, its fate might have not been sealed yet.

Answer 9 · 2014-07-22T05:28:13.000Z

Anyone interested in testing packages of MariaDB 10.0.12?

Answer 10 · 2014-07-22T08:03:45.000Z

@gplessis are you using the same one than the official MariaDB repository or is this another one?

Answer 11 · 2014-07-22T17:14:02.000Z

@deimosfr Now that I have published packages of MySQL 5.6, I was looking at what Debian was planning for MariaDB : The 5.5 branch is already in unstable and the 10.0 branch is being worked on.

So I focused on MariaDB 10.0 with the upcoming Debian packaging scheme, that looks - after many tests - good, and a bit different at Maria's one. It allows to upgrade/switch almost seamlessly :

packages are new ones, no conflict with existing MySQL packages
configuration files are stored in /etc/mysql/conf.d/. You keep your existing /etc/mysql/my.cnf from mysql-common

Amongst MariaDB new features, you have TokuDB, oqgraph, connect...

Answer 12 · 2014-07-23T11:51:10.000Z

@gplessis I'm already using MariaDB but from official repositories. My question is more related to what are the changes if I switch from the official MariaDB repository to yours?

Thanks in advance

@deimosfr I'll take a further look at how packages from MariaDB are built and keep you posted.
