[MLUG] RHEL and MySQL packages revisited

[Matthew Schmidt <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hi Folks,

Let me rephrase my question:

Is anyone out there running RHEL with a version of MySQL that is not
officially supported by RedHat?

We've developed a kick a$$ application that depends on MySQL 4.X. Our
servers run something like 3.2.

I'm not a personal fan of RedHat, but it is all that is supported by
our IT folks. They do not want to install any MySQL packages that are
not the official RHEL RPMs. I would like to gather some experiential
data from folks who have installed unsupported MySQL RPMs on their
RedHat systems (I suppose Fedora systems, too).

How did the install go? Do you remember your downtime? How was
backward compatibility? Did you have to tinker around or did things
"automagically" work? Did any PHP scripts break? Don't you love the
union statement in MySQL 4.X?

I yearn for the day when people start to grok that Linux != RedHat.

Thanks again!

Matt
