I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 (amd64), and want to install a recent version of MySQL 5.6.
If possible, I would like to install (not upgrade) it the "Debian Way' (i.e., using apt-get or dpkg).
(This release is End of Lifed, consider upgrading!)
I have prepared PPA with MySQL 5.6 packages based on MySQL 5.5 Debian packages. No guarantee that it will work right away, but I would be grateful if you can try it and report back success (or failure).
There are PPAs for MySQL 5.5 and MySQL 5.6, both with latest upstream source.
MySQL 5.5: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/mysql-5.5
MySQL 5.6: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/mysql-5.6
Update: The MySQL 5.6 packages failed on clean install and that has been fixed. If you find more errors please contact me directly via launchpad, or on https://github.com/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues
