Noted in 5.5.39, 5.6.20, 5.7.5 changelogs. File permissions and line endings of several test and configuration files were made more consistent to avoid warnings from package checkers.

Description: The lintian tool (lint for debian packages) has picked up the following issue: W executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/mysql/config.huge.ini usr/share/mysql/config.huge.ini usr/share/mysql/config.medium.ini usr/share/mysql/config.medium.ini usr/share/mysql/config.small.ini usr/share/mysql/config.small.ini usr/share/mysql/ndb-config-2-node.ini usr/share/mysql/ndb-config-2-node.ini This means these files are being generated with the execute bit set, which it shouldn't be as they are sample config files How to repeat: Run lintian on debian packages, or build the server and examine the filesystem Suggested fix: Produce these files without setting the execute bit.
