Early report - WOW - thanks

Using the mysql-4.1.12-3, mysql-server, mysql-devel built from the SRPMS
that you created and client above...

rpm -Uvh those packages all at once and they completely replaced the
equiv 3.23.58-x packages and mysql started right up and apparently the
mysqldump that I did wasn't even necessary (holding on to it as a just
in case).

my horde setup connected immediately (php-mysql is apparently happy) and
life seems to be really, really good.

Thanks for the help. I can give you the binary RPM's that I created from
your SRPMS (and the build logs) if you wish but I do have to
confess...this is one of the few machines that I set up with Whitebox
and haven't migrated over (in fact, John has been pretty good lately
about releasing updates though the yum updates still are slow)...I'm
thinking that I will maybe get 6 months to a year more from this box
before I have to do something in a major type of upgrade.

Anyway - thanks for the help, it really seems to have worked
wonderfully. I would suppose that if upstream releases a new SRPM (and
likewise CentOS), then the spec file that I have now should be able to
build it?
