I decided to try a series of blog posts keeping people informed about what’s happening in Percona Server and Percona XtraBackup once a week. I’ll try to digest things, but it turns out to be hard — I want to provide details and links for everything, but then it isn’t really a digest anymore, so I cut out a lot of detail.

Team news in general:

  • There is a new Quality Assurance Engineer, Valentine Gostev, reporting and handling bugs.
  • There is a new Build Engineer, Ignacio Nin, who is handling packaging and other duties.
  • Aleksandr Kuzminsky has moved out of the Build Engineer role and has transferred to the consulting team instead. (He’s one of Percona’s data recovery experts, among other things).

A somewhat OT question: are there any statistics on whether (and which) Percona patches propagate back to MySQL, MariaDB, etc.? And vice-versa? Is that still possible (for the server), or are the different servers diverting fast? I suppose users have their favorite server packages which they would use whatever a certain patch’s propagation status, nevertheless, it’d still be interesting if the release teams could agree on a common place to compare their products.
