MySQL5 and associated packages are now available in the c4-testing repository for i386 and x86_64. It should be fully compatible with current centos4 packages requiring mysql, such as php-mysql etc. Feedback is appreciated.
c4-testing repository located here -> http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/

As far as I've tested, yes. The updated mysqlclient* rpms seem to be doing a fine job of making things work. If something breaks I'd like to know about it.

Happen to have run repoclosure against centos 4.2 + these packages to see if we have any unresolved deps?

I did. They're clean. A wee bit distrusting are we? :-P

Hi Seth,
No, these pkgs do not contain the perl, python, php etc mysql/db modules - but we've rebuilt and updated the libmysqlclient libraries that the mysql/db functions in these languages use - so that we can maintain compatibility without having to rebuilt pretty much everything!
Maybe some details here might come in handy : http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1124

Q: What is the main benefit of running these packages (incl. the old), over running the vendor RPM packages available from dev.mysql.com ? Is it a MySQL "Community Edition" versus "Red Hat Edition" thing ?
(Assuming that a similar "mysqlclient14" package is added, that is)
On a side note, I have made a similar "pq3" package for upgrading from PostgreSQL 7.x to PostgreSQL 8.x - how would I go about to submit this RPM as an enhancement package to the CentOS project ?
(it provides the old /usr/lib/libpq.so.3, for package compatibility)

the main benefit would be to have this s/w in a yum repository - and to have it updated for bug fix's and security updates ( perhaps not as much or as fast as the core pkgs would be - but you will not be left dangling with these pkgs either )

Excellent!
Upload the .src.rpm's somewhere on the net and drop an email here to the list. What we might also need, along with this package, is the entire pgsql rpm set - so that people can just enable the repl, and yum update to pgsql 8.

It's based on the original postgresql package, so for that I used: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.2/os/SRPMS/postgresql-7.4.8 -1.RHEL4.1.src.rpm
The new spec file for the compat lib can be found at this location: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/rpm/pq3.spec
Also needs a similar package for CentOS 3, using the 7.3.10 RPM (still TODO) http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.6/os/SRPMS/rh-postgresql-7.3.10 -2.src.rpm
And for the updated PostgreSQL 8.x RPMS, I used the vendor's packages: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/ (there are SRPMS in there too, despite the "binary" directory name...)
BTW; I'm pretty sure you need to do a full database dump before doing such a major upgrade, but it's been a while since I tried.
But the PostgreSQL documentation should say all about that issue. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ.html#item3.6
