Hi all,
I know it's been much awaited, but I didn't have a lot of faith in it
previously, so I didn't want to destroy the systems of our ~arch users
by releasing MySQL/MariaDB 5.5.x on them.
However, as of today, I believe that it is sufficiently ready to be used
on ~arch systems, and I will be updating the global package.mask to now
only block MySQL 5.6.
MySQL 5.6 does not pass it's own testsuite yet, so it'll be a while
before it becomes more available. If you want it sooner, be sure to keep
an eye on the mysql team overlay!
I'd like to thank Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) and Brian
Evans <grknight@lavabit.com> for their tireless fighting with the
ebuilds.
