@Alberto : I just checked the last MySQL packages for Lenny. They have the thread safety enabled.

Hi Guillaume,

First, thanks for your work compiling and packaging mysql 5.1

I suggest that you could activate the –enable-thread-safe-client flag. It won’t do any harmful, and it will benefit a lot the people (like me ;D) that uses multithreaded applications on debian!

@Moritz : Yes, most of them (building MySQL in a chroot makes some of them fail)

@Guillaume: Thank you very much! Works like a charm

Do you have the tests enabled when building your packages?

I’m trying to rebuild your 5.1.43 package with a patch but there are always failing tests (with or without the patch)

Failing test(s): main.partition_innodb main.information_schema_chmod main.trigger rpl.rpl_rotate_logs

I’m running AMD64 Lenny. Any ideas? What are your dpkg-buildpackage parameters?

@Anthony : there is no push to the mirrors yet, but I think I’ll have to think about such a system (inspired from Debian’s one? http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror#when )

BTW, thanks for updating the UK mirror so quickly.
