Hi,
I just noticed there are mysql5 packages in the centosplus repository since a few days ? From where does they come from ?

err ? What do you mean where did they come from ?
you might want to read up on what Repositories exist for CentOS and what the contents of each are. The wiki is a good place to start ( wiki.centos.org )

Let me steal Martin's thread...
What are the differences between centosplus mysql5 packages and RPMs that can be downloaded directly from mysql.com? I guess there was a reason why you guys rebuilt those RPMs. Other than for fun ;-)

There are a couple patches to make things play nice in RHEL/Centos involving libtool, the lib directory, a proper init script, proper buildrequires etc. They're both similar, but we have far more control over our packages and can provide better support. Ours are also much closer to what you'll find "upstream". Some packages are done based on name requirements, and mysql's packages don't match what the distro provides, which can cause conflicts. Our mysql packages are designed to be drop in replacements.
Have I at made that at all clearer for you?
oh yeah... and also... THREAD HIJACKER!

I wanted to know if those RPMs are closer to the mysql.com packages, or more like mysql4 packages from main distribution, and you perfectly answered that question. Thanks.

Shame on me ;-)

I have been working on installing a webserver w/ CentOS 4 and mysql 5. When I started I didn't see mysql5 in centosplus so I installed the ones from AB. I've been having trouble with SeLinux though, so I was curious if you had done something specifically to make this work. (My best guess is the lib directory and stuff caused this to work if it moved it to match the default file contexts).
Anyways, I'm planning on switching over since the server isnt' deployed and this way I can get updates. Thanks to the centosplus people for adding mysql5, you're saving me a bit of work.

Works fine with selinux (in the default file locations). You're correct about the paths causing the issue.

Thanks to everyone who provided the feedback, allowing it to finally cross over into centosplus.

When i wrote "from where", i've of course assumed "why"... Because it's new ! ( is think it's too typicaly french :-D, sorry)
(Wiki.centos.org says it should be in "centos-testing") In another hand that's not really an hijacked thread because Aleksandar has naturally understood it :P
Thanks again to everyone !

There probably should have been one. I'll take the blame for the lack of it.
but not in the main announce list, lets think about a centosplus-announce ( as suggested by Lance )
