Description:
I tested the internal 6.0.4 preview packages today and used the binary tarball
distributions as the basis of my testing. At least the following packages seem to miss the
usual "configure" script in the toplevel directory, which sets up and start the server:

mysql-6.0.4-alpha-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
mysql-6.0.4-alpha-linux-powerpc-glibc23.tar.gz

There is, however, a script named "support-files/binary-configure", which is in fact the
script I was looking for. However, it lacks the executable bits and thus can't be just
called directly.

How to repeat:
Examine the content of a recent 6.0.4 binary distribution, observe that the toplevel
"configure" shell script is missing.

Suggested fix:
Either clearly document that this script was renamed/moved and make sure the one in
support-files is actually executable, or re-add the missing script in the toplevel
directory.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The
updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next
release of the relevant products.

Given that the script was never documented, I've only added a note to the 6.0.4
changelog:

The (undocumented) configure script previously included with binary
distributions is no longer included.
