[Ben Harper <ben.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

New mysql57u and mariadb101u packages will be hitting the testing 
repositories after tonight's automation run.

It is important to note, the configuration files for mysql57u are 
different than previous IUS mysql packages.  We are following the way 
Fedora's community-mysql and EL 7's mariadb configuration files are laid 
out.  The /etc/my.cnf file is very minimal with most of the 
configuration is located within /etc/my.cnf.d/.  Also in the past, we 
provided fancy my.cnf files (courtesy of Rackspace DBAs), as upstream 
had poor defaults.  Now upstream is taking defaults seriously, we will 
be dropping those fancy configuration files to align with upstream.  See 
the GitHub issue[0], for additional information.

Given these changes, extra attention may be needed when preparing to 
upgrade to mysql57u.


Thanks,
Ben and the rest of the IUS covedev team
