[Bug 584287] New: Update MySQL version to the latest 5.0.90 in 11.1/11.0
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584287 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584287#c0 Summary: Update MySQL version to the latest 5.0.90 in 11.1/11.0 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: ast@novell.com ReportedBy: mhrusecky@novell.com QAContact: ast@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- I was at MySQL packagers meeting in Oracle and among the other things we discussed their versioning. And we were told, that their version updates in released branches are in fact maintenance updates. In fact, what they are fixing in new versions are only D1 and D2 bugs with no easy workarounds. D1 means security, crashes and data corruption/loss. D2 means that database either returns wrong data or there is a severe performance regression (also without any easy workaround). So maybe we should consider doing MySQL version updates in openSUSE. Advantages: - less back porting work for me - maybe less work for security team (but we need to track security for SLE anyway) - official and officially supported fixes - fixes for bugs that our users will hit in future before they hit them - risk shouldn't be high - might be good marketing point [1] Disadvantages: - more QA work for me (and maybe others) - bigger updates - people might be scared Basically I want to do the update to the latest 5.0.90 in opsenSUSE 11.1/11.0 now and discuss/create process of what should I do when 5.0.91 will be released...
