MySQL 5.6.* Development version somewhere / create AUR package

Question

Hi,
I am interested in the new features of mysql version 5.6 (innodb full text search).
I could not find any package in the repos nor in the AUR. If that is correct we could create one ( I already had a look at the official package for mysql).

Answer 1

There isn't a stable version, but you can install 5.6.6-m9 (which I assume means milestone 9).
Here's a PKGBUILD:

That's based on the PKGBUILD for the mysql in the repos. All I did was edit which version it should grab, the md5sum and in a few places the paths, since the '-m9' needs to be added. I've run it for myself for a couple of weeks and it seems to run quite well.
Note that while you can migrate mysql 5.5 data into mysql 5.6 it won't do the reverse for you. I suggest you make backups and all that. You may have other problems, this is, of course, totally unsupported.
