Whiteboard

(Potentially low hanging fruit is marked as optional.)

# Test and release DEB for Ubuntu, Debian
DONE ## Optional: See if it is easy to generate the debian/ directory so that package names come from $MYSQLFORK variable (like done with bintar).
DONE ## Optional: Put more of this stuff into .mysql_version file and add comments. This one file should eventually contain all of the configurable parts on the bakery scripts level. (Of course, mysql source code itself has things like version number, etc...)
DONE # Deb files versioning needs to include distro codename. (Percona does this correctly.)
DONE # Review and start using other "fork branding" options, --with-server-suffix et.al. Use alpha-beta-rc tags correctly.
DONE # Files (including top directory) in bintar have so little permissions that mysqld won't start when untarred. BuildBot umask issue?
# RPM packages for CentOS/RHEL. (later fedora, possibly opensuse)
# signed packages (also bintar, source or at least md5sums)
# Decide and fix Flascache issue +bug/717423
