It's possible to compile xtrabackup for MySQL 5.5.9?

I’m seeing in the source code, in utils/build.sh, that xtrabackup it’s ready to building for MySQL 5.5.8. I’m traying to compile for 5.5.9, but I get an error when the patch it’s applied.

There are patches ready to 5.5.9 version (or comming soon) or have I to change it manually?

$ bzr branch lp:percona-xtrabackup

percona-xtrabackup$ vi utils/build.sh
replace mysql_version=5.5.8 by mysql_version=5.5.9

percona-xtrabackup$ wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-5.5/mysql-5 .5.9.tar.gz

percona-xtrabackup$ utils/build.sh 5.5

Compile against 5.5.8, and it should work fine for backing up 5.5.9 as well. But the patches are not made to apply against 5.5.9.

OK, thanks.

I’m trying to compile against MySQL 5.5.8. Everything looks OK with utils/build.sh, and it generates xtrabackup_55 and innobackupex-1.5.1 script, but I don’t know how I should proceed to integrate with an installation of MySQL 5.5.8.

I’m following http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-xtrabackup:installa tion:from-source, but not indicate how upgrade my xtrabackup.

In the past I have installed xtrabackup-1.5-9.rhel5.x86_64.rpm and now, I copy:

./mysql-5.5.8/storage/innobase/xtrabackup/xtrabackup_55
./mysql-5.5.8/storage/innobase/xtrabackup/innobackupex-1.5.1
./mysql-5.5.8/libtar-1.2.11/libtar/tar4ibd

to a /usr/bin. But when I execute a full backup, I get this error. What’s I’m doing wrong? What’s the correct procedure to upgrade xtrabackup?

With a clean database I get the same error. I only have a database created with scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
