MySQL Bug 59449 - Patch Accepted by Percona?

[Jeremy Thomerson]

I just submitted a patch to a MySQL bug that I am also experiencing.  I would like to see it accepted into the wider community (MySQL, MariaDB, Percona, etc).  Please let me know what I need to do so that this patch could also be accepted into your project.  I would especially like to see it appear in Percona 5.5 since my team is in the process of migrating our servers from MySQL to Percona.

The bug is here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=59449

The "[11 Jun 3:16] Jeremy Thomerson" comment will be the most useful.

Please CC me on any replies to this thread because I am not subscribed to this mailing list.

Best Regards,

Jeremy Thomerson

Hi Jeremy!

It's great to see patches fixing bugs!

Like MariaDB, we also keep up to date with upstream MySQL. Percona
Server is (literally) a collection of patches on top of upstream MySQL
which is constantly rebased to the latest MySQL releases.

So we certainly will get your fix once it's in upstream MySQL.

Although if they are rather slack in including it, we could certainly
take a look at it for Percona Server.

I'd also be happy to directly ping some Oracle people about it if it
starts to look forgotten.

Stewart,

 

  Thank you for your reply.  I, too, am hopeful that it will be accepted upstream.  I've tried to do everything on my end to make this possible.  But, I'm unfamiliar with Oracle's process for this.  I haven't seen any activity on the issue since I attached the patch, except for the day after where the "Contributions" tag was added.  I'm not sure what happens next.  If you have any suggestions on how to increase the likelihood of this being accepted by Oracle, I'd be happy to hear them.

 

Best Regards,

Jeremy Thomerson

It may take a week or three before somebody gets to it as there are
customer issues and critical bugs and general development work.

If you've heard nothing in two weeks, I'd say make another note asking
for any update and if nothing in 4... then we can try other things :)

Stewart, I was unexpectedly away a lot in July and August and didn't get to follow up on this.  Looking at the original bug report, I have seen absolutely no activity.  I'm not even sure why they have not touched / accepted it.  If anyone here knows a way to get it into the upstream, I'd appreciate any help you can offer.  If not, I'd like to investigate getting it added into Percona directly.  I'm actually using Percona servers anyway, so getting it there would be great, although I'd prefer to see it move upstream.

Thanks!
