 %changelog
+* Wed Jan 27 2016 Honza Horak <hhorak@redhat.com> - 5.7.10-2
+- Use mysqld instead of mysqld_safe (mysqld_safe not necessary for 5.7)
+  Use mysqld --initialize-insecure instead of mysql_install_db
+  Create /var/lib/mysql-files (used by secure-file-priv)
+    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_secure_file_priv
+  Remove unnecessary Perl dependencies (mysqlhotcopy was removed in 5.7)
+  Thanks Norvald H. Ryeng

 * Wed Dec 16 2015 Jakub Dorňák <jdornak@redhat.com> - 5.7.10-1
