Hi,

Looking at the changes between mysql-5.5.25 and mysql-5.5.27,
I noticed that while it contains quite a few bug fixes, they all come
without test cases.

What would that be - a change in policy? Careless developers?

On the other hand, 5.5.27 contains a change to mysql-test-run to look
for test cases in the new directory, named "internal".

May be all new tests are there? That is, tests are no longer
open-source?

Whatever the reason is - everyone, who modifies MySQL (all linux
distributions, facebook, twitter, taobao, and many others) have
just lost the ability to test their extensions.

Could anyone from Oracle shed some light on this?
Where did the new test cases go?

Regards,
Sergei

If true this is also an issue for some users who don't modify MySQL
source. They still want to confirm that bugs are fixed in new
releases. Others want to confirm that binaries they compiled don't
have any obvious bugs.

On top of the aforementioned, there was a change in policy that a
change log for a particular release will now only be published when
the release becomes available for download. Also, the commits going to
the commits mailing list are now quite infrequent and mostly
irrelevant.

It seems that the few things that were developed in a somewhat open
manner no longer exist. It would be nice to know what is going on. It
might be seem as a direct attack on whoever develops on top of the
upstream MySQL.

Davi,

What you describe is a delay in sharing. This thread started with a
question about content (tests for bug fixes) that wasn't shared. I
think those are separate discussions.

This is a great place for the community team to respond.
