MySQL 5.6 does not work (libmysqlclient18)
Created by: patschi
Since updating MySQL to 5.6 I get this error when trying starting GitLab:
/home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/activesupport-4.0.3/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:229:in `require': Incorrect MySQL client library version! This gem was compiled for 5.5.31 but the client library is 5.6.17. (RuntimeError)
The popular 3rd party repository Dotdeb updated all their MySQL packages to version 5.6 and since I updated my server to this version, GitLab won't start anymore. I'm always getting the error I wrote above. Since I manually downgraded just libmysqlclient18 to 5.5 from https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libmysqlclient18/download it's working again.
But it would be very great, if there would be a official support for MySQL 5.6 in the next releases.
