 I fear a similar fate is going to befall mysql-workbench before too
 long, since it's been orphaned for a while. Are the Oracle employees
 still around?

Yes we are! Sorry for the long silence. The window for F19 closed so
it became less urgent, then I had vacation, was sick, then others here
were on vacation but we're all here now and I shall be uploading new
packages with MySQL 5.6.13 very soon. They are already ready
internally, but I need to do some final checks and a scratch build. I
was indeed planning to do that today anyway.

I will get back with more details later.

 However, I need to repeat that this could have some impact to
 choosing default package when asking for mysql name, as I've
 described at:
 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-April/181340.html

We have tried to reproduce this case here but we didn't get the wrong
behaviour you refer to even with the name mysql-community. I don't why
you are getting problems.

 One recent example -- I've found that perl-DBD-MySQL got build
 against community-mysql few weeks back, when the current builds of
 community-mysql and mariadb were already in the repo. Honestly, I
 don't have a clue how that could happen, but it was another proof
 for me, that we should take the safest way as we could. Fortunately,
 in this case removing mysql-devel and mysql-embedded-devel providers
 from community-mysql packages should work fine.

The new package removed those provides.

In any case, this problem is not an argument for community-mysql since
even that caused undesired behaviour; renaming to mysql-community
would not make any difference.

 That is misinformation. Note the bottom of the following paragraph:
 
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers#Upload_Your_Package

I have registered on fedoraproject.org and added my ssh key but I
could not upload. I'm not quite sure what I needed to do and in which
order. It doesn't quite follow the normal pattern since I'm not adding
a *new* package, just offering to keep maintaining an existing one.

But since I do have an alternative place to upload I figured this was
not urgent.

Self introduction, and maintaining MySQL package

2013-04-30 Thread Bjorn Munch
Hello,

I have just submitted a request for rename of the package
community-mysql back to mysql-community:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=958131

See there for more details and rationale.

I'm sorry that this took somewhat longer than intended to get out, I
had some urgent tasks to attend do, such as getting the first
development release of MySQL 5.7 out the door and its source to
Launchpad. On the other hand. this also means we have already updated
the 5.6 package from the initial GA release 5.6.10 to 5.6.11.

Since I do not yet have a sponsor, I cannot upload to
fedorapeople.org. Also, Oracle does not have public web host usable
for ad-hoc uploads like this, so for the time being I have ulpoaded to
my private web page here:

http://home.online.no/~bjornmu/fedora/

Please excuse my ISP for thinking the file extension .rpm is music. :-)

I have also run a koji scratch build:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5317300

I've had some in-house expert help for preparing the new source RPM
and spec file, but I will be responsible for keeping the Fedora
packages up-to-date going forward. I have just ordered a laptop on
which I will install F18 for this purpose :-) . Development/testing is
also being done on a VM in our development lab running Rawhide.

About myself:

I waw at Sun since they acquired the small database startup I worked
for in 2002. When Sun acquired MySQL in 2008, I was working with
Release Engineering of PostgreSQL in Sun's own database group; I was
responsible for integrating PostgreSQL 8.3 into OpenSolaris.

After Sun scaled down its PostgreSQL efforts (I still build Solaris
binaries for the PG community when they have new releases), I worked
for a few years on maintaining the test framework that comes with
MySQL, before I moved back to doing Release Engineering.

Now I'm part of the MySQL RE team which is responsible for building
and releasing MySQL and other associated products on all the platforms
we deliver for, plus we run the large in-house automated build and
test farm in the lab in Trondheim, Norway where I'm also located.

It took a little time to get this (and myself) ready but future
updates should come much faster.

I have previously announced here that I plan to do this once the

to the uncertainties around package names etc. Thanks for the link, I

 We do not really use rpmlintrc like this, as rpmlint config is just a
 python script, and I think this would be too dangerous to have it
 executed automatically ( even if that's not really different from spec
 for that matter ).

This is not used automatically, it's been used when running rpmlint
manually and is included for documentation purposes (and for anoyne
else who might want to run rpmlint manually).

PS There's something odd with the timing of this email: it dropped

 What do you mean by adding a rpmlintrc file ?

Sorry for late reply, I was away.

We have run rpmlint on the package and it reported a number of

 We now have a set of working 5.6.10 packages. The packages pass mtr
 tests and we've tested some of the packages that depend on MySQL
 (php, perl-DBD-MySQL, etc.). It all seems to be working well, so I
 think we're ready to get it into rawhide. I believe Bjørn Munch has
 already contacted you about how to upload, etc.

Yes, I was basically asking about getting upload access. As has been
said before, we will allocate resources from the Release Engineering
team to maintain this package for Fedora and that will include me.

The package we have ready as an upgrade of the existing one removes
some no longer needed patches, adds a few new patches, updates the
spec file of course, and also adds an rpmlintrc file. It has of course
been tested on a Rawhide installation.
