MySQL 5.1.40 is available for Debian “Lenny” and “Etch” with InnoDB-plugin support

MySQL 5.1.40 is now available on Dotdeb for Debian 5.0 “Lenny” / Debian 4.0 “Etch” in amd64/i386 flavours.

As usual, this maintenance release fixes a lot of bugs (please read the Changelog for more details).

Please note that the packaging is a little bit different from the official Debian packaging, to include the InnoDB plugin in the mysql-server-5.1 package instead of in the libmysqlclient-dev one. This plugin replaces the built-in InnoDB support and has many advantages :

• fast index creation,
• data compression,
• new row formats,
• new file formats,
• performance and scalability enhancements…

You can easily enable it by uncommenting to lines in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf configuration file and then restart your MySQL server :

Please read carefully the InnoDB plugin documentation and backup your data before activating this beta quality feature!

Google Perftools 1.4 are available for Debian 5.0 “Lenny”

Looking for a new way to speed up your MySQL server? The tcmalloc library from Google Perftools could be the answer (about 15-20% performance improvement). Refer to this (updated) How-to for more information.

I just packaged Google Perftools 1.4 for Debian 5.0 (a.k.a. “Lenny”). According to the Changelog, they’re bringing a lot of bugfixes and improvements, and then they enhance the stability of the daemons they’re plugged in, especially on 64bits systems.

Upgrading from previous version is highly recommended.

PHP 5.2.11 packages are available for Etch and Lenny

PHP 5.2.11 has been published a few days ago by the PHP Group and its packages are now available for Debian Etch and Lenny, amd64 and i386. It fixes a lot of bugs and some security issues :

• Fixed certificate validation inside php_openssl_apply_verification_policy. (Ryan Sleevi, Ilia)
• Fixed sanity check for the color index in imagecolortransparent(). (Pierre)
• Added missing sanity checks around exif processing. (Ilia)
• Fixed bug #44683 (popen crashes when an invalid mode is passed). (Pierre)

To avoid the same negative feedbacks as about PHP 5.2.10, a lot of debug and changes has been made :

• The embedded_timezone patch has been disabled. You now have to set date.timezone manually in your /etc/php5/*/php.ini files, depending on your machine.

• If you encounter problems with some applications and the CGI flavour, remember to set cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 in your php.ini (thanks Scott for reporting this)

As usual, read the full Changelog before upgrading.
