[Bug 1359349] [NEW] FFe: make mysql 5.6 default mysql-server

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

I'm filing a feature freeze exception for Robie Basak who is currently not available.
Robie has done work under blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/servercloud-u-databases to get mysql-5.6 into main and replace 5.5 as the default mysql-server.


Robie has mysql-5.6 packages available at https://code.launchpad.net/~racb/+archive/ubuntu/experimental/+packages .  They're good, but he had this comment:

 | mysql-5.6: ready for upload, just not done because I wanted to
 | coordinate with an archive admin for removal of mysql-5.5 and subsequent
 | NBS binary packages at the same time. This smooths the upgrade path for
 | users following Utopic because apt seems to prefer to remove
 | mysql-server otherwise, and not push 5.5 to 5.6 (but users could do that
 | manually later).

The note about apt preferring to remove mysql-server was concerning to
infinity, so he suggested a slightly later-than-FeatureFreeze upload
rather than an uploading of Robie's work as it is.

So, this is a FFe for the work of getting 5.6 into main and dropping
5.5.
