Pinba engine 1.0.0

Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:05:49 +0000

I already talked about Pinba, this great Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool that is made of :

a MySQL storage engine ( pinba-mysql-5.5),
a PHP extension ( php5-pinba),
and even a python module, pynba, (thanks to my IsCool Entertainment friends) and an experimental Nginx module.

But since MySQL 5.1 support has been discontinued on Dotdeb, it was impossible to install the Pinba MySQL storage engine, just because it depended on a non-existant MySQL 5.1 version.

MySQL 5.5.19

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:43:37 +0000

The packages of MySQL 5.5.19 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures. They fix some annoying issues that Dotdeb users kindly reported :

the mysql-common package, in its 5.5.19+ version, “breaks” mysql-server-5.1 and mysql-client-5.1 (as APT means it - it won’t actually break your server into pieces). Freezing it will prevent any issue (the introduction of unknown configuration variables in their /etc/mysql/my.cnf, for example)
the MySQL client now uses the system’s readline library instead of the bundled editline wrapper
missing header files and libraries are now included in the appropriate packages

As usual, please read the full Changelog carefully before upgrading.

MySQL 5.5.18 is out

Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:02:55 +0000

MySQL 5.5.18 has been released by Oracle yesterday. The packages for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” are now available on Dotdeb for both amd64 and i386 architectures.

As usual, please read the full Changelog carefully before upgrading.

Please also note that Oracle now provides .deb packages on their download page. That’s a great thing, but they’ll have to be improved :

no repository is available to ease the future updates
they’re monolythic and do not separate libraries from headers or binaries, configuration from server or client.
they do not take care of the official Debian naming convention

MySQL 5.5 is finally here!

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 09:15:53 +0000

Some months after MySQL 5.5 being released as GA, I’m proud to announce that MySQL 5.5.17 is now available on Dotdeb, for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze”, for both amd64 and i386 architectures.

Focusing on compatibility with previous and future official Debian packages of MySQL, Dotdeb’s ones are based on the great work provided by the official Debian maintainers. Many thanks to them! I really hope that MySQL 5.5 will be part of Debian Sid soon.
