MySQL Conference – Get Behind Dorsal Source

In a community session yesterday at MySQL Conference 2007, I first heard about [Dorsal Source][1]. A collaboration between [Solid DB][2] and [Proven Scaling][3] that allows for community people to upload patches to [MySQL][4], get it compiled across multiple platforms, and have a downloadable distribution available on H/W individual contributors will never have access to.

That’s a great idea. I also hope we get the opportunity to get compiling of patches into multiple versions, as well to get builds of a lot of patches together. Personally, I’m running 3 versions just to diagnose one problem. 5.0.36 with a custom binary change, 5.0.37 so I have SHOW PROFILE, and 5.0.33 so I have microslow patch.

With new patches becoming available from the community, I hope I can see builds that combine all known patches that Dorsal Source may have.

I think this is going to be a great project.
