For the records:
|
| 2 |
I hope that this news item won't get delayed by the recent ComRel bug
|
| 3 |
someone filled against me regarding this news item.
|
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
While we often rush with news items and don't wait the 72h listed in
|
| 6 |
GLEP 42, this one should go out as soon as possible.
|
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Why?
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Because every minute we wait will increase the chance that someone
|
| 11 |
affected by this will be unable to recover. This is (for those not
|
| 12 |
familiar with database engines) because bin logs are about to expire
|
| 13 |
(getting overwritten) in typical setups after 3-5 days. And in case
|
| 14 |
someone will learn about this not before next week and has to do a full
|
| 15 |
restore, that user will lose about one week of data...
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Just saying.
