MySQL 5.1.24 was released last week. I am nearly done with preparing and testing the updated package for Debian, and will upload it to experimental within the next few days. MySQL AB decided to disable Cluster support from their official binaries with 5.1.24, but unfortunately they forgot to add a note to the release notes. It was only mentioned in a bugreport where someone asked why mysqld does no longer understand the --ndbcluster option in 5.1.24:

It was decided that we do not support NDB Cluster in the 5.1 release but do a general release of the Carrier Grade Edition 6.2 branch (which is based on MySQL 5.1) instead as it has received substantial improvements on the cluster side that can not be backported to 5.1 for now.

So while the 5.1.24 source still includes the cluster storage it is not built into the binaries released by us. A MySQL Cluster 6.2.x binary release is expected to be become available before end of April.

I am still thinking about how we should handle the new situation in Debian, hence I will keep Cluster support enabled at least for the first 5.1.24 upload. Maybe we will see a separate mysql-cluster (or mysql-cge) package in Debian soon...

MySQL Backups Using ZRM For MySQL 2.0

Today I uploaded MySQL 5.1.23 to Debian experimental. It's currently waiting in the NEW queue for manual approval, because thanks to Monty Taylor the libndb parts are now in separate binary packages libndbclient3 and libndbclient-dev. Until it's getting approved to experimental, the updated package is available (amd64 only) from my home directory on gluck.

Last week I uploaded MySQL 5.0.51a-1 to Debian unstable. Usually not worth a separate blog entry, but in this release I included the patch for MySQL bug #4541, which was opened more than three years ago. The problem results in an error like this, e.g. when migrating a database from latin1 to utf8:

Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes

The patch from Ingo Strüwing now included in Debian raises the maximum key length to 4005 bytes or 1001 UTF-8 characters. It will not go into the official MySQL source repositories because it results in bigger buffers and as such increases memory footprint and decreases performance. See the bugreport for further details.

Update: After some criticism from MySQL (see comments) I decided to disable the patch in the default builds with the next upload, but still ship it in the source package.

MySQL 5.0.51a was released today, which is a security hotfix release without any new features compared with 5.0.51. It fixes CVE-2007-6303, CVE-2007-6304, CVE-2008-0226 and CVE-2008-0227. These problems are already fixed in Debian with 5.0.32-7etch4 and 5.0.32-7etch5 for stable and 5.0.45-5 and 5.0.51-3 for unstable using the patches from MySQL, hence no need to write bugreports against the MySQL packages asking for an update to 5.0.51a.

We will update to 5.0.51a anyway with the next upload, but there's no need to hurry.

How To Install MySQL 4.1 And PHP4 On Debian Etch

MySQL 4 and PHP 4 are quite old, but you might have PHP applications on your server that require PHP4 and MySQL 4. The problem is that Debian Etch comes with MySQL 5 only, and its PHP4 packages depend on MySQL 5 and don't work with MySQL 4. This guide shows how you can install MySQL 4.1 on Debian Etch along with PHP4 packages that work with MySQL 4.1.
