Regardless of its status in 5.6/5.7, we shipped 5.5 to users in Ubuntu 14.04, when it was still undeprecated, so I think it is worth fixing in 14.04.
Note that in Ubuntu 15.04 and later, 5.6 is shipped, and mysqlhotcopy is in fact shown as deprecated: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/vivid/mysql-5.6/vivid/view/head:/scripts/mysqlhotcopy.sh#L161 Now, my personal feeling is that users should stop using it _immediately_ because it really is a terrible thing to rely on. But, we take bugs that might affect data integrity, including backups, pretty seriously. ** Also affects: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Utopic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Utopic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu Utopic) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1450803 Title: mysqlhotcopy: error in SQL syntax To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.5/+bug/1450803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
