    WL#5665: Removal of the autotools-based build system · 2d8bc2a6
    Davi Arnaut authored
    The autotools-based build system has been superseded and
    is being removed in order to ease the maintenance burden on
    developers tweaking and maintaining the build system.
    
    In order to support tools that need to extract the server
    version, a new file that (only) contains the server version,
    called VERSION, is introduced. The file contents are human
    and machine-readable. The format is:
    
    MYSQL_VERSION_MAJOR=5
    MYSQL_VERSION_MINOR=5
    MYSQL_VERSION_PATCH=8
    MYSQL_VERSION_EXTRA=-rc
    
    The CMake based version extraction in cmake/mysql_version.cmake
    is changed to extract the version from this file. The configure
    to CMake wrapper is retained for backwards compatibility and to
    support the BUILD/ scripts. Also, a new a makefile target
    show-dist-name that prints the server version is introduced.
    
    VERSION:
      Add top-level version file.
    cmake/mysql_version.cmake:
      Get version information from the top-level VERSION file.
      Do not cache the version components (MAJOR_VERSION, etc).
      Add MYSQL_RPM_VERSION as a replacement for MYSQL_U_SCORE_VERSION.
