[debian-mysql] Mysql 5.6 for experimental?

[Nicholas Bamber]

Olaf,
	I'm not Clint howeevr I believe I can offer a reply.

	You probably want to build up your commitment slowly. So I would say 
the first step is can you download the Debian source from the svn 
repository and build it. If it fails you could email this list. I think 
we would want the full build log as an attachment. I don't think the 
instructions for building from the repository are perfect but I managed 
to work them so they cannot be too bad. ;-)

	I you get past that stage you could try sending BTS patches for bugs 
and where necessary showing how the bug can be reproduced.

	Once you have done a few of those if you are ready to take the plunge 
you should apply for SVN write access.
