Description:
When I install the package mysql-5.7.9-osx10.10-x86_64.dmg ,it contains installs files under:
/usr/local/mysql-5.7.11-osx10.9-x86_64

However, when I install mysql-5.7.9-osx10.10-x86_64.tar.gz , it contains files under:
/usr/localmysql-5.7.11-osx10.10-x86_64

It looks like the dmg package just contains the wrong binaries.

How to repeat:
1. Go to the mysql download page
2. Download the package labelled "Mac OS X 10.10 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive"
3. Run the installer
4. Note the files in /usr/local/mysql-5.7.11-osx10.9-x86_64

Suggested fix:
Repackage the dmg file.

I'm closing this as not a bug.

Our OS X packages for OS X 10.10 are intentionally built with 10.9 as the
target platform. The CMake build script picks this up and names the package
accordingly. Therefore, it's correct for the 10.10 DMG to contain a 10.9
distribution. The name of the installed directory is unfortunate, but not
really relevant. The tarball contains the same files named differently.

With the current set of releases, we're switching to packages built on OS X
10.11. These packages also target OS X 10.9, but will hopefully identify as
10.11 packages across the board.
