MySQL 5.1 discontinued on Dotdeb

During the last weeks, MySQL suffered from many vulnerabilities (see DSA-2429-1 and DSA-2496-1). Due to the non-disclosure of security patch information from Oracle, the Debian security team is now forced to ship upstreams version update of MySQL 5.1 (5.1.63 as of this writing).

Then it makes no sense for Dotdeb to duplicate this effort and to maintain the same versions of MySQL 5.1 for Squeeze with the same features and level of optimization. As a consequence the MySQL 5.1 packages has been removed from the Dotdeb repository (you’ll find archived versions here).

Please just be sure to have debian-security in your sources.list to have the most recent security fixes for your MySQL 5.1 server :

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free

Now, don’t worry, if you want to install a recent MySQL 5.5 server, the packages will still be actively maintained on Dotdeb, in terms of features and optimization.

Percona toolkit 2.1.2

Percona toolkit 2.1.2 is now available on Dotdeb for Debian 6.0 “Squeeze”. It brings a lot of bug fixes :

  • pt-table-sync is now working properly, the --lock-and-rename feature has been disabled when using it with MySQL versions that don’t support it reliably.
  • pt-table-checksum and pt-online-schema-change have been enhanced to add even more safety checks, and to detect and deal with some MySQL optimizer misbehaviors, as well as to handle more edge-case behaviors related to things like replication lag.
  • A variety of bugfixes in pretty much every tool because of an expanded test coverage : more MySQL versions, more operating system platforms, more types of MySQL server settings, and more versions of Perl.

Baron Schwartz also wrote a blog post about it.
