mysql-dfsg-5.0 (5.0.32-3etch1) testing-proposed-updates; urgency=high

  * Backported upstream patch for a bug that crashed the server when using
    certain join/group/limit combinations. 
    Users of the Joomla CMS seemed to be affected by this. Closes: #403721
  * The debian-start script that runs on every server start now first upgrades
    the system tables (if neccessary) and then check them as it sometimes did
    not work the other way around (e.g. for MediaWiki). The script now uses 
    mysql_update instead of mysql_update_script as recommended. Closes: 409780
  * The old_passwords setting that is set according to a Debconf question is
    now written to /etc/mysql/conf.d/old_passwords.cnf instead directly to the
    conffile /etc/mysql/my.cnf which would be fobidden by policy (thanks to
    Robert Bihlmeyer). Closes: #409750
  * Added bison to build dependencies.

mysql-dfsg-5.0 (5.0.27-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    ask unnecessary "config file has changed" questions regarding

mysql-dfsg-5.0 (5.0.26-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * SECURITY: 
    This combined release of 5.0.25 and 5.0.26 fixes lot of possible server
    crashs so it should get into Etch. Quoting the changelog (bug numbers are
    bugs.mysql.com ones):
    - character_set_results can be NULL to signify no conversion, but some
      code did not check for NULL, resulting in a server crash. (Bug#21913)
    - Using cursors with READ COMMITTED isolation level could cause InnoDB to
      crash. (Bug#19834)
    - Some prepared statements caused a server crash when executed a second
      time. (Bug#21166)
    - When DROP DATABASE or SHOW OPEN TABLES was issued while concurrently 
      issuing DROP TABLE (or RENAME TABLE, CREATE TABLE LIKE or any other 
      statement that required a name lock) in another connection, the server 
      crashed. (Bug#21216)
    - Use of zero-length variable names caused a server crash. (Bug#20908)
    - For InnoDB tables, the server could crash when executing NOT IN () 
      subqueries. (Bug#21077) 
    - Repeated DROP TABLE statements in a stored procedure could sometimes
      cause the server to crash. (Bug#19399)
    - Performing an INSERT on a view that was defined using a SELECT that 
      specified a collation and a column alias caused the server to crash 
      (Bug#21086).
    - A query of the form shown here caused the server to crash. (Bug#21007)
    - NDB Cluster: Some queries involving joins on very large NDB tables could
      crash the MySQL server. (Bug#21059)
    - The character set was not being properly initialized for CAST() with a
      type like CHAR(2) BINARY, which resulted in incorrect results or even a 
      server crash. (Bug#17903)
    - For certain queries, the server incorrectly resolved a reference to an
      aggregate function and crashed. (Bug#20868)
    - The server crashed when using the range access method to execut a
      subquery with a ORDER BY DESC  clause. (Bug#20869)
    - Triggers on tables in the mysql database caused a server crash. Triggers
      for tables in this database now are disallowed. (Bug#18361)
    - Using SELECT on a corrupt MyISAM table using the dynamic record format 
      could cause a server crash. (Bug#19835) 
    - Use of MIN() or MAX()  with GROUP BY on a ucs2  column could cause a
      server crash. (Bug#20076)
    - Selecting from a MERGE table could result in a server crash if the
      underlying tables had fewer indexes than the MERGE table itself. 
      (Bug#21617, Bug#22937)

  * New upstream release.
    - This bug would cause trouble for Sarge->Etch upgrades, it was supposed to
      have been fixed in 5.0.16 but that apparently did not fix the whole
      problem:
      Using tables from MySQL 4.x in MySQL 5.x, in particular those with VARCHAR
      fields and using INSERT DELAYED to update data in the table would result in
      either data corruption or a server crash. (Bug#16611, Bug#16218, Bug#17294) 
      Closes: #386337
    - Fixes data corruption as an automatic client reconnect used to set
      the wrong character set. Closes: #365050
    - Fixes an undefined ulong type in an include file. Closes: #389102
    - Fixes wrong output format when using Unicode characters. Closes: #355302
    - Fixes mysql_upgrade when using a password. Closes: #371841

  * Upstream fixes a bug in the (never released) version 5.0.23 which could
    maybe used to crash the server if the mysqlmanager daemon is in use
    which is not yet the default in Debian. (CVE-2006-3486 *DISPUTED*)
  * Changed runlevel priority of mysqld from 20 to 19 so that it gets started
    before apache and proftpd etc. which might depend on an already running
    database server (thanks to Martin Gruner). Closes: #377651
  * Added patch which sets PATH_MAX in ndb (thanks to Cyril Brulebois).
    Closes: #378949
  * Activated YaSSL as licence issues are settled according to:
    http://bugs.mysql.com/?id=16755. This also closes the FTBFS bug
    regarding OpenSSL as it is discouraged to use now. Closes: #368639
  * Removed SSL-MINI-HOWTO as the official documentation is good enough now.
  * mysql_upgrade no longer gives --password on the commandline which would
    be insecure (thanks to Dean Gaudet). Closes: #379199
  * Adjusted debian/patches/45* to make consecutive builds in the same source
    tree possible (thanks to Bob Tanner). Closes: #368661
  * mysql-server-5.0 is now suggesting tinyca as yaSSL is enabled and tinyca
    was found to be really cool :)
  * Moved tempdir from /tmp to /var/tmp as it will more likely have enough
    free space as /tmp is often on the root partition and /var or at least
    /var/tmp is on a bigger one.

    uploaded before the announcement came). I now added the CVE id for
    reference and set urgency to high as the last entry did not.

  [ Christian Hammers ]
  * When using apt-get the check for left-over ISAM tables can abort the
    installation of mysql-server-5.0 but not prevent the mysql-server-4.1

mysql-dfsg-5.0 (5.0.7beta-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Second try for new upstream release. 
  * Renamed mysql-common-5.0 to mysql-common as future libmysqlclient16
    from e.g. MySQL-5.1 would else introduce mysql-common-5.1 which makes
    a simultanous installation of libmysqlclient14 impossible as that
    depends on either mysql-common or mysql-common-5.0 but not on future

    provide mysql-common.

mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11a-4) unstable; urgency=high

    Debian db3 version which happens when e.g. using libnss-db.

mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11a-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Okay, the hackery with /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server.list will not
    stand and is removed from the preinst of mysql-server.
  * New workaround for the symlink problem that does not involve mucking
    with dpkg's file lists is storing the symlinks in a temporary location
    across upgrades.
    As this sometimes fails since apt-get does not always call new.preinst
    before old.postrm, some remarks were added to README.Debian and the
    Debconf installation notes to minimize the inconvinience this causes.

mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11a-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Added the "a" to the version number to be able to upload a new
    .orig.tar.gz file which now has the non-free Docs/ directory removed
    as this has been forgotten in the 4.1.11 release (thanks to Goeran
    Weinholt). Closes: #308691
  * The Woody package listed /var/lib/mysql and /var/log/mysql in its
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server.list. These directories are often
    replaced by symlinks to data partitions which triggers a dpkg bug
    that causes these symlinks to be removed on upgrades. The new preinst
    prevents this by removing the two lines from the .list file
    (thanks to Andreas Barth and Jamin W. Collins). See dpkg bug #287978.
  * Updated French Debconf translation (thanks to Christian Perrier).

mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.11-3) unstable; urgency=high

  * The "do you want to remove /var/lib/mysql when purging the package" flag
    from old versions is removed once this package is beeing installed so
    that purging an old Woody mysql-server package while having a
    mysql-server-4.1 package installed can no longer lead to the removal of
    all databases. Additionaly clarified the wording of this versions Debconf
    template and added a check that skips this purge in the postrm script
    if another mysql-server* package has /usr/sbin/mysqld installed.
    (thanks to Adrian Bunk for spotting that problem) Closes: #307473

    - Completely removed the passwordless test user as it was not only
      insecure but also lead to irritations as MySQL checks first the
      permissions of this user and then those of a password having one.

mysql-dfsg-4.1 (4.1.9-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * SECURITY:
    For historical reasons /usr/share/mysql/ was owned and writable by

    compatible and not less secure but maybe even more, as less people enable
    networking for all interfaces (thanks to Arjen Lentz).

    2. MySQL did not adjust their licence to grant permission to link

  * Between 4.0.20 and 4.0.21 the Debian specific changes in
    /usr/bin/mysqld_safe that piped the error log to syslog got lost

mysql-dfsg (4.0.21-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * SECURITY:
    This upstream version fixes some security problems that might at least
    allow a DoS attack on the server.
    * Fixed an old bug in concurrent accesses to `MERGE' tables (even
      one `MERGE' table and `MyISAM' tables), that could've resulted in
      a crash or hang of the server. (Bug #2408)
    * Fixed bug in privilege checking where, under some conditions, one
      was able to grant privileges on the database, he has no privileges
      on. (Bug #3933)
    * Fixed crash in `MATCH ... AGAINST()' on a phrase search operator
      with a missing closing double quote. (Bug #3870)
    * Fixed potential memory overrun in `mysql_real_connect()' (which
      required a compromised DNS server and certain operating systems).
      (Bug #4017)
  * New upstream version.
    * Fixes bug that made x="foo" in WHERE sometimes the same as x="foo ".
      Closes: #211618
  * Updated Japanese Debconf translation (thanks to Hideki Yamane).

mysql-dfsg (4.0.20-13) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Fixed a bug in the initscript which caused the check for not properly
    closed i.e. corrupt tables that is executed when the server starts
    not to run in background as supposed.
    Although the check does not repair anything on servers with several
    thousand tables the script was reported to take some minutes which
    is quite annoying. (Thanks to Jakob Goldbach). Closes: #270800

  * Filter messages regarding table handles that do not support CHECK TABLE
    in the script that checks for corrupted tables on every start which lead
    to unnecessary mails (thanks to David Everly). Closes: #269811 
  * Added a note to the corrupt-table-check mail which notes that a
    false-positive is reported in the case that immediately after starting
    the server a client starts using a table (thanks to Uwe Kappe).
    Closes: #269985
  * Added "quote-names" as default to the [mysqldump] section in
    /etc/mysql/my.cnf as too many users stumble over dump files that
    could not be read in again due to the valid use of reserved words
    as table names. This has also be done by upstream in 4.1.1 and has
    no known drawbacks. Closes: #269865
  * Binary logs can now be rotated as well. Defaults to off, though, for
    compatibilty reasons (thanks to Mark Ferlatte). Closes: #94230, #269110
  * The mysql user "debian-sys-maint" now gets all possible rights which
    makes binary logging possible and helps other package maintainer who
    wants to use it to create package specific databases and users.
  * Added example how to change daemon nice level via /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  * Updated French debconf translations (thanks to Christian Perrier).
    Closes: #265811
  * Renamed options in the default config file that still had old names
    (thanks to Yves Kreis). Closes: #266445
  * Fixed spelling in debconf note.
  * Added -l and -L to dh_shlibdeps.

  * MySQL finally updated their copyright page and installed v1.5 of
    the "Free/Libre and Open Source Software License (FLOSS) - Exception"
    which will hopefully end the license hell they created by putting the
    client libraries under GPL instead of LGPL which conflicts with PHP and
    other software that used to link against MySQL.
    The license text is not yet in any release MySQL version but visible
    on their web site and copied into the debian/copyright file.
    Special thanks to Zak Greant <zak@mysql.com> and the debian-legal list

    It also now notifies root by mail and syslog if a table is corrupt.
  * The "debian-sys-maint" MySQL user now has almost full rights so that other
    packages might use this account to create databases and user (thanks to
    Andreas Barth). Closes: #262541

mysql-dfsg (4.0.20-7) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Solved the upstream bug that error messages of the server are written
    in a file that is then rotated away leaving mysqld logging effectively
    to /dev/null. It now logs to a /usr/bin/logger process which puts the
    messages into the syslog.
    Modified files: /etc/init.d/mysql, /usr/bin/mysqld_safe and the 
    logchecker files. Closes: #254070
  * The initscript does no longer call mysqlcheck directly but via
    /etc/mysql/debian-start which is a user customizable config script.
  * Splitted the debconf "install and update notes" and only show them
    when it is appropriate (thanks to Steve Langasek). Closes: #240515
  * Added NEWS.Debian.
  * Added hint to -DBIG_ROWS, which is currently not used, to README.Debian.

  * Moved the debconf question whether to remove the databases or not
    from mysql-server.config to mysql-server.postrm so that it shows
    up on purge time and not months earlier (thanks to Wouter Verhelst).

    Currently it exists with an error message but leaves the server
    running. Feedback appreciated!
  * Made postinst script more robust by calling db_stop earlier and
    so prevent pipe-deadlocks.
  * Fixed minor typos in initscript (thanks to "C.Y.M."). Closes: 259518
  * Added the undocumented "-DBIG_JOINS" that MySQL apparently uses in
    their MAX binaries. It enables 62 instead of 30 tables in a "join".

  * SECURITY: This version fixes an upstream security release that is only
              present in the 4.x branch which is currently only in the
              experimental distribution and therefore will not get a DSA.

mysql-dfsg (4.0.6.gamma-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream version. Now Gamma!

  * Incorporated patches from unstable.
  * Added mysqlmanager and a couple of other new scripts.
  * Enabled libmysqld embedded server library.

mysql-dfsg (4.0.5a.beta-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * First 4.x experimental package due to continuous user requests :-)
    Please test and report!
  * upstream: safe_mysqld has been renamed to mysqld_safe
  * upstream: new library soname version libmysqlclient.so.11
  * Renamed libmysqlclientXX-dev to libmysqlclient-dev as I don't plan to
    support more than one development environment and this makes the 
    dependencies easier.
  * FIXME: Skipped parts of the debian/patches/alpha patch as the global.h 
    is not existing.
  * FIXME: How to get rid this? Old ltconfig patch already applied.

mysql-dfsg (3.23.51-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Corrected copyright file: the MySQL client library is licenced under
    the LGPL-2 not the GPL. From version 4.x it actually will be GPL this
    is why parts of http://www.mysql.com/ already say so. Closes: #153591

  * New upstream version.
  * I applied a patch that fixes a binary imcompatibility in
    the shared libary libmysqlclient.so.10 between 3.23.50 and
    some versions earlier. Upstream has been contacted and asked
    for clarification. Closes: #149952
  * Added support for NIS i.e. it shows a warning and fails if the
    needed 'mysql' user does not exists but works if it does.
    Closes: #143282, #147869
  * Substituted $0 in init scripts by something really weird so that
    "./S20mysql restart" works now, too. (BTW: S20? install file-rc!!!)
    Closes: #148658
  * Now postinst works even if /etc/init.d/mysql is removed. Closes: #151021

    Fixes a very annoying and important bug that lets all mysql programs
    including perl scripts etc. segfault when using the read_default_group()
    function. 3.23.50 is currently a pre-release and expected to be released
    next week. I plan to propose it for woody as soon as its stability has
    been proven. The following bug reports are all regarding this issue.
    Closes: #144960, #145322, #136798, #138143,

mysql-dfsg (3.23.49x-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * I had to split the package to seperate the manual as it is not GPL
    like the rest of the software and docs but under a license that
    e.g. forbids selling printed versions. 
    .
    The upstream authors were contacted a while ago but did not like to
    change the situation.
    .
    The names of the resulting packages have not changed as the manual
    already was in a seperate mysql-doc package due to it's size. 
    The source packages are now splitted from one "mysql" to 
    "mysql-dfsg" in main and "mysql-nonfree" in non-free.
  * No code change! 
    The "x" at the end of the version number ist just to be able to 
    upload a new source package. ("a" was already taken by upstream 
    for their binary upload correction)

  * Recreating debian-sys-main pwd on every install to help people who
    accidently delete user or password files...

    things as user mysql.
  * upstream: Fixed bug when thread creation failed.
  * upstream: Fixed problem in Innobase with non-latin1 charsets
  * upstream: Fixed a core-dump bug when using very complex query with DISTINGT
  * upstream: many others so called minor bugs...
