Percona-XtraDB.sh

#Percona-XtraDB obsoletes mysql-server packages, so upgrade is pretty straightforward.
#Instead of updating currently installed packages Percona-XtraDB should be installed. It will replace currently #installed mysql-server, mysql-client, etc.

# Dont's do it straight on production server, let's try on the staging one
