I think it's rather late for such an upload, especially when it involves an ABI break. I asked other RT members and the answer I got also was that it was too late for this. So I'd say we stay at 5.5 for Jessie. > 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. I'm not sure what you mean here. Also, I haven't seen an answer as to which MySQL fork we want for Jessie. We can't have all 3 (or 4?) of them.
