Extend the list of MySQL versions for test in XtraBackup's testing suite

[Valentine Gostev]

The XtraBackup's testing suite should allow to run tests against the following versions of MySQL

Using xtrabackup_51 binary:
- MySQL 5.0
- Percona Server 5.0
- MySQL with built-in InnoDB plug-in

Using xtrabackup binary:
- MySQL 5.1 w/ InnoDB plug-in
- Percona Server 5.1

xtrabackup_55
- Percona Server 5.5
- MySQL 5.5

Current status: links to Percona Server 5.0 and 5.5 should be specified.

I think we have this now with the testsuite fixes that Alexey and I have done? or are there other changes pending?

[Alexey Kopytov (akopytov)]

5.0 is still unsupported with those fixes. OTOH I wonder if 5.0 is officially supported by the current xtrabackup and hence need testing in trunk.

[Stewart Smith (stewart)]

http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-xtrabackup:xtrabackup:start says 5.0 is supported, so we should be testing against it.

[Stewart Smith (stewart)]

I don't see any fix actually committed, so it looks like this is still TODO

[Alexey Kopytov (akopytov)]

bootstrap.sh and possibly run.sh have to be updated to allow testing MySQL / Percona Server 5.0. All other parts have been implemented by the recent test suite fixes.

[Stewart Smith (stewart)]

Setting to fix released as we do now cover MySQL 5.0.

We're still not doing anything about multiple minor releases in each major one though.

Percona now uses JIRA for bug reports so this bug report is migrated to: https://jira.percona.com/browse/PXB-554
