As I emailed before, the plan was to get mysql-5.6 into unstable prior
to freeze; however we hit a snag that needed investigation upstream
which has delayed things a bit; specifically an ABI enum change -
Norvald from Oracle has done some in-depth investigate into this problem:


http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-mysql-maint/2014-September/007040.html

The break is a minor one and only impacts three in-archive packages
that would need a no-change rebuild post upload of mysql-5.6; so that
we don't end up with a crazy Debian specific version of
libmysqlclient, the recommendation is that we don't undertake a full
transition but deal with the three exceptions as a one off, and
resolve the soname version bump with mysql-5.7 in the future.  I'm not
100% comfortable with this but it appears to be the best compromise we
can come up with.

If the release team is OK with this, we'll go ahead and upload
mysql-5.6 to unstable and raise bugs for the three impacted packages.
Please can you confirm.

Robie and I are also working with Percona on PXC 5.6 (and PS 5.6);
that might not land in time so percona-xtradb-cluster-5.5 might have
to skip this release as I want to have a base compatibility of 5.6 for
this Debian release.

James
