Re: Transition plans for MySQL-5.1
Hello
Nobody answered so I'm going to upload MySQL this evening and then file
bug report with priority serious against the 142 packages currently
depending on the old libmysqlclient15off. I tag them with
user pkg-mysql-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org
usertag nnnnnn + libmysqlclient16
bye,
-christian-
