Hi,

This week

• I really struggled with the ABI check failing with the error:

  CMake Error at cmake/do_abi_check.cmake:82 (MESSAGE):
  ABI check found difference between
  /workspace/server/include/mysql/plugin_audit.h.pp and
  /workspace/server/abi_check.out
  

  Running make abi_update fixed the issue.

• Using services means copying a large portion of the headers into the server.
  This may cause licensing issues.
  Overview:

Library	License
AZlib	Zlib
BZip2	BSD-like
LZ4	Library files under BSD 2-Clause and other under GPL v2
LZMA	Public Domain
LZO	GPL v2+
Snappy	Custom license
Xpress	???
Zlib	Zlib
ZStandard	Dual: BSD + GPL v2

• Tested the LZMA service by calling the function from a dynamic plugin as per step 2 of MDEV-22895.

• Started working on making the service compatible with static plugins as per step 3 of MDEV-22895.

Next week

• Finish making the service compatible with static plugins.

• Work on MDEV-22895.

Thanks,
Kartik
