[Maria-developers] TokuDB QA issues - should we fix them ourself or are any of the upstream devs listening?
by Otto Kekäläinen 04 Jan '16

Hello! While working on the Debian packaging I noticed multiple minor QA level issues that stem from problems in TokuDB: - Debian builds are not reproducable due to random embedded build id in the TokuDB plugin, see https://reproducible.debian.net/dbd/unstable/amd64/mariadb-10.0_10.0.23-1.d… (subpage of https://reproducible.debian.net/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/mariadb-10.0.html) - Lintian complains about missing man page for binary tokuftdump. Also Lintian complains about outdated autotool files in TokuDB sources. For both see https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pkg-mysql-maint@lists.alioth.debian.o… I'd like to see these fixed. What is the best process to proceed with these? File an issue at mariadb.org/jira or https://github.com/percona/PerconaFT or what..? Please advice. - Otto MariaDB Foundation

[Maria-developers] Documentation for new features
by Ian Gilfillan 03 Jan '16

Hi I quite often find out about a new feature after release, either by looking through the changelog and commits, or because someone points out it's missing from the documentation. It's time-consuming trying to keep track of every change, and I miss things (especially in non-default plugins etc), so it'd be better if everyone can remember the need for documentation when adding new features/variables or changes in behaviour. Each task of this sort in JIRA could have a related documentation subtask. You can add to the knowledgebase directly (don't worry about bad English, I will fix), email me with details, or at least alert me about an impending change. thanks, ian

Hello! While working on MDEV-9259 I did some comparisons about what files in general are created by the build but which are missing from the Debian packaging. The list is below. Please advise which should be included and which are OK to leave out. etc/mysql/conf.d/cassandra.cnf etc/mysql/conf.d/dialog.cnf etc/mysql/conf.d/oqgraph.cnf usr/bin/mysql_config usr/bin/mysql_embedded usr/bin/mytop usr/include/mysql/*.h usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so usr/lib/mysql/plugin/mysql_clear_password.so usr/share/mysql/mroonga/install.sql usr/share/mysql/mroonga/uninstall.sql usr/share/mysql/my-huge.cnf usr/share/mysql/my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf usr/share/mysql/my-large.cnf usr/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf usr/share/mysql/my-small.cnf usr/share/mysql/mysqld_multi.server usr/share/mysql/mysql-log-rotate usr/share/mysql/mysql.server usr/sql-bench/*
