[debian-mysql] MySQL 5.7 Packaging

[Bjoern Boschman]

+1 for Robie's work

One thing I'd changed was the usage of echo "..${$rootpw}.." >> /some/file
as I am not sure if this will be shown in the processlist and therefor
would cause an security issue?

> OK, 5.7 packaging is ready now, and pushed to the 5.7 repository. A
> couple of major changes to what was there before:
>
> 1) It has 5.6 in its history, so figuring out the past is much easier.
>
> 2) There are a series of logical and small commits that can be
> individually reviewed to get from 5.6 to 5.7. This way when reviewing I
> can be sure that we have not regressed anything.
>
> I cannot replace the master branch, so I pushed to a branch called
> "rbasak" and also copied the current master branch from Bjoern to one
> called "jesusch" (his username). Can a DD please delete the current
> master branch and rename "rbasak" to "master"?
>
> I found the lack of history to be a big pain during 5.6. As none of us
> were around many years ago, we need to be able to ask git questions like
> "when was line X added and with what changelog message". Not preserving
> this history in git makes life much harder so I think it's worth doing
> this properly from the start.
>
> I also ask (again) that people only push to the master branch high
> quality commits of this form: one logical change per commit, with a
> sensible commit message explaining the change.
>
> With that, I think my branch is ready for upload to Debian experimental,
> and I'd appreciate any review. One thing that still needs to be done is
> translation updates. We have various updates in the BTS and also need to
> unfuzz the latest s/5.6/5.7/ changes.
>
> Bjoern, is there anything that you want to add to this branch? I looked
> through your previous commits, but as they weren't broken down I
> couldn't really see what changes I could pick out.
>
> I have also uploaded this work to Ubuntu. A couple of Ubuntu-specific
> changes were needed that are not applicable to Debian. You can track
> this in the ubuntu/devel branch that I have pushed.
