[ubuntu-us-nm] Next Release of Amarok and MySQL 5.1

[Eric Krieger]

Interesting notes from the Ubuntu Server team... for those of that use
Amarok and not so happy, happy, joy, joy feelings about MySQL 5.1.

==== MySQL 5.1 in Jaunty ====

ScottK mentioned that the next version of amarok (music player for KDE)
would
require MySQL 5.1 as it uses the embedded mysql library (which is not
available in 5.0). He also added that akonadi (PIM manager for KDE) used
MySQL
5.0 for now. zul and mathiaz reported that they had been working on
merging
5.1 from experimental. However the test suite isn't successfully run
during
the build process. There was some discussion about supporting both 5.1
and 5.0
in main. jdstrand from the security team strongly suggested to not do
that.
mathiaz also mentioned that a senior MySQL developer blogged about the
poor
quality of MySQL 5.1 now that it has been declared stable for production
use
(GA) by upstream.
