Hi all, I am trying to update mysql to 5.5.8. It uses cmake now.
I built and successfully installed it on my system. It seems to work, but I won't broke any Arch Linux system and I want to know the right procedure on how to proceed with this major update. Also, before I put the packages in [testing], I'd like if someone can take a look to them or try the new packages.
PKGBUILD is here[1]; packages are here[2]. A diff between my PKGBUILD and the current one is here[3].
Remember that you need to run mysql_upgrade as root after the installation and with mysql running. I added a message to post_update() for this.
Cheers

Is there a reason you disabled "skip-networking"? Afaik mysql will listen on all interfaces by default then which does not seem to be a good idea. At least restrict it to localhost. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
