MySQL install from repos

I noticed that in vagrant_scripts/my56_bootstrap.sh you are pulling MySQL debs directly from dev.mysql.com. Not to dissuade you if it works, but there are two alternatives that might work better:

1. The version of Ubuntu you are presumably using here (Trusty) has MySQL 5.6 packages under the name mysql-server-5.6.
2. There are official apt repos with support for MySQL 5.6/5.7.

As a third alternative, if you would like to bootstrap multiple MySQL instances in the same VM, there is also MySQL Sandbox. I use this to bootstrap MySQL on my localhost.

I had a real hassle of a time finding a combination of steps that worked consistently, although it could be due to the fact that I originally started with precise instead of trusty (and precise had no mysql 5.6 packages). If you would like to try finding a simpler set of steps for getting the environment up and running (particularly if you think there may be a more reliable method over the long term) I would be grateful. Thanks!
