Lets keep it as feature request to describe package build process in our docs

[Matthew B (utdrmac)]

Seriously? Instructions for how to build our product is a "feature request"? What if MySQL said that? or Docker? or AWS had no docs on their website because it was just a feature request and they expected everyone to be able to figure it out on their own?

[EvgeniyPatlan (evgeniy-patlan)]

I will prepare the instruction a bit later is it ok?

[Sergei Glushchenko (sergei.glushchenko)]

Mattew B,

We do have instruction on how to build and install our product from source code It is here percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/2.4/installation/compiling_xtrabackup.html.
Have you seen instruction on how to build MySQL RPM on dev.mysql.com, or OpenSSL deb package on openssl.org?

[Sergei Glushchenko (sergei.glushchenko)]

Evgeniy,

Will it be possible to go even further and put up simple script which can be invoked to easily build debs and rpms?

[EvgeniyPatlan (evgeniy-patlan)]

yes it is possible but it is more time consuming procedure. So I will try to create the doc as soon as possible. and after that I will create such script.

[Matthew B (utdrmac)]

Thanks. I do understand that we have instructions for compiling from source, but should we not have "complete" instructions for also building packages for our supported operating systems as well?

We have instructions for building PS packages here, https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.7/installation.html#compile-from-source (though incomplete as RPM is missing).

This is awesome: https://www.percona.com/blog/2017/01/20/how-to-manually-build-percona-server-rpm-packages/ and should become part of our standard docs along with building deb.

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PXB-1035
