[debian-mysql] Updates to the mysql-8.0 package

[Cyrille Bollu]

Hi team,

My company is user of Ubuntu servers.

Recently our Security team has informed me of vulnerabilities in the mysql-connector-java package that we are using.

>From what I understand, the best way to fix these vulnerabilities would be to update the mysql-8.0 Debian package.

Looking at your dashboard, I see that mysql-8.0 FTBS for more than 1 month.

The build error on amd64 looks quite common ('size_t' has not been declared) and I was wondering if I could be of any help to resolve this issue.

I've a bit of experience of Debian packaging within the Perl team, though I understand mysql-8.0 is most probably a much more complicated package than what I've been doing until now. Anyway, I'm not fond of persistent vulnerabilities and I'm ready to spend the time needed to tackle the issue providing I can benefit from some assistance from this mailing list.

First question: Are the build instructions in file debian/README.Maintainer still current?

Best regards,

---
