</span>The Oracle guys don't have permission to push to Alioth git, so Lars has<br>>
been working on his branch in Github as he's already raised in this<br>>
thread. I intend to review Lars' branch, upload it, and replace anything<br>>
for mysql-5.7 on Alioth at the moment (I'll save your work in a side<br>>
branch of course so it doesn't get lost in case we need it later). I<br>>
ignored your work so far because it was reported to not build and you<br>>
hadn't (previously) responded. Please work with us and not on your own -<br>>
can you send Lars patches or otherwise critique Lars' branch, please?<br>>
