Mysql-5.5

The packages of MySQL 5.5.23 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures with no major change except bug fixes. As usual, please read carefully the full Changelog before upgrading.

The packages of MySQL 5.5.22 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures with no major change except bug fixes. As usual, please read carefully the full Changelogs of MySQL 5.5.21 and MySQL 5.5.22 before upgrading.

The packages of MySQL 5.5.20 are now available for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures, with the following changes : the mysql-common package should now work with MySQL 5.1 packages without any problem (unknown configuration variables in /etc/mysql/my.cnf have been commented out) mysql-server-5.5 now supports Linux native asynchronous IO As usual, please read the full Changelog carefully before upgrading.

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 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

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. ...
