Merging New XtraDB Releases (obsolete)

Details the now-obsolete workflow for integrating updated releases of the XtraDB storage engine into MariaDB.

This page contains background information for MariaDB developers.

Background

Percona used to maintain XtraDB as a patch series against the InnoDB plugin. This affected how we started merging XtraDB in.

Now Percona maintains a normal source repository on launchpad (lp:percona-server). But we continue to merge the old way to preserve the history of our changes.

Merging

There used to be a lp:percona-xtradb tree, that we were merging from as:

bzr merge lp:percona-xtradb

Now we have to maintain our own XtraDB-5.5 repository to merge from. It is lp:~maria-captains/maria/xtradb-mergetree-5.5. Follow the procedures as described in Merging with a merge tree to merge from it.
