Hello Robie,<br>
<br>
In continuation to the discussion at UDS, it might be easier if we
draft the packaging design changes on mail to make sure everyone has
the correct perspective. I am listing down the TODO list having
impact on design of MySQL ecosystem in Debian and Ubuntu:<br>
<ol>
<li>Taking forward 5.6 as default in Debian and Ubuntu.</li>
<li>Separation of data directory and common packaging scripts as
part of an independent package.</li>
<li>Giving each binary incompatible MySQL variant its own data
directory at /var/lib/<fork>.</li>
</ol>
<p>It would be great if you can initiate the discussion with your
thoughts about the changes.<br>
</p>
<p>Additionally I would like to know your view on adding MySQL
5.6.19 to experimental and trusty as the latest released version.
I can initiate the work on 5.6.19 if you do not see any blockers.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Akhil<br>
