[debian-mysql] updating mysql-5.6 in sid?

[Andreas Beckmann]

Hi,

looks like the mysql-5.6 5.6.34-1 builds got stuck on the linux
architectures, leaving them at 5.6.30-1.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mysql-5.6&suite=unstable

I just pushed two git commits that

* stop building the unversioned metapackages (now built from
  src:mysql-5.7)
* add the missing Breaks+Replaces for the innochecksum manpage move

Unfortunately I cannot test this due to the editline FTBFS #851156.

There is also a new 5.6.35 upstream release, but I won't touch that :-)

It would be great if someone could bring mysql-5.6 back into shape for
sid until we are ready to have it removed from the archive. (I don't
expect you want to maintain both mysql-5.6 and mysql-5.7 in sid after
the 'transition' to 'mariadb | mysql-5.7' is done.)
