colin, do you think we should start building packages for debian jessie?
When?

If yes — please, reassign to dbart and set the priority accordingly.

Thanks!

Since we just started Debian 7 (wheezy) builds, and that was made stable May 4 2013, we may want to also make binaries for Debian testing (jessie).

Pros?
+ We will be building against the next release of Debian (if on a 2 year release cycle, we will be ready for 2015)
+ Pending inclusion into Debian, we will have testing repositories available for users as well

Cons?

• Do we build for Debian unstable as well? (I don't think so)
• How many people are using Debian/testing (jessie) today?

As we have to start several VMs, and add to buildbot, it will take even longer for builds to come out. My only concern is user numbers of Debian/testing (jessie) now.

I hopped on over to Percona to see what they provide (http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation/apt_repo.html). It seems like its only current stable and obsolete stable releases that are offered.

I do not view this as high priority, but if there is a compelling argument to have Debian/testing builds available, we should definitely do it.

Jessie is close to a release now, also, there are builds for sid.
Seems like this was just forgotten?

I will have builders for Jessie created very soon.

There still doesn't seem to be a repository for jessie.

Jessie packages are now built ok
