Comment 1 for bug 1698689

The 5.5 series update for 14.04 is now available.

Please use git-buildpackage to fetch and build from the ubuntu-14.04 branch at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-5.5.git/log/?h=ubuntu-14.04

The repository uses pristine-tar, so there is no need to separately download the sources. You can just check the signature/SHA1SUM directly from the git-buildpackage generated tarball.

Test builds and testsuite passed on all platforms at https://launchpad.net/~mysql-ubuntu/+archive/ubuntu/mariadb/+builds?build_text=&build_state=all
