Task description
Generic TODO items across all MySQL/MariaDB/Percona in the Debian MySQL variants team:
Rules file review in London sprint 2014-12-11 suggestions:
- Review the implementation on hardening flags
- review the install sections: why are there so many install commands, why not just use .install files to define them?
Packaging of MySQL and related software and cooperation with the wider community around MySQL. The immediate goals centre around the mysql-5.5 package:
Get Ubuntu and Debian versions identical or at least as close as possible.
Get the package piuparts clean
Get on top of the bugs (build install client library ubuntu delta)
Have just one mysql source package
Package the clones as well but factoring out the common work
MySQL forks
Galera replication framework WSREP provider (also needs compatible Galera server binaries as WSREP consumer)
MySQL-wsrep is MySQL + wsrep-patches (Galera consumer)
Get involved
Update the FAQ
Basic bug triage: merging, moreinfo and forwarded
Higher bug triage: reproducibility and patching
