Hi there,
I'm really glad MySQL 5.5 and libs is out, and immediately updated my Centos 5.7 box. I can't seem to find the 5.5 client, however. MySQL and libs and server are version 5.5.17-1-el5 (latest available, I think) but I only have mysqlclient15 (5.0.90) and mysqlclient16 (5.1.19) installed. This is not a catastrophy, but phpmyadmin is complaining and, well, a 5.5 client (either 17 or 18) will eventually be needed.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
If not, does someone know when the 5.5 client will be released?
Thanks in advance!
[solved] MySQL 5.5 client anyone?

Re: MySQL 5.5 client anyone?
mysqlclient18 is a subset of mysql-libs. Its generally only needed if you use something linked against mysql 5.5, but use an older version of mysql on the same system.
Re: MySQL 5.5 client anyone?
Errrrr… okay…
Actually I already approximately got that. But how come my php-mysql still insists on using the 5.1 client then? I'm using php-mysq-5.3.8-1.el5.art (but I don't know how to find what repo a package was downloaded from, sorry, yum info just says "Installed")… Any help for me? Thanks in advance.

Re: MySQL 5.5 client anyone?
I explain...no... I sum up.
first the earth cooled
then the dinosaurs came, but they got all fat and died
and turned into oil
and then the arabs came, and they drove mercedes benzes
at some point I started making php packages
then at another point mysql packages
php 5.3.8-1 was built when mysql 5.1 was in the repo
then mysql 5.5 got added
php 5.3.8 did not get rebuilt. It still wants mysql 5.1
mysqlclient16 is the mysql 5.1 client library
whenever php gets updated, it will use the 5.5 client library
can you dig it?

Re: MySQL 5.5 client anyone?
Got it. Thanks.
And, btw sleeping over it, I actually already figured it out (except maybe for the parts where dinosaurs turn to oil, as I think oil actually come from ancient vegetation, not animals, but I guess it's not the point…).
And also, it's Gentoo's fault: I used to use it and it recompiled binaries at every install/update (which can really be a pain in the ...) so I always forgot that updating the libraries in CentOS doesn't mean I just have to reinstall php-mysql to use updated dependencies.
Bottom line :
- Thanks for taking time to answer this
- I'm looking forward to for php-mysql to be updated (but there's no hurry, things run ok right now)
- Let's dig this thing about dinosaurs and oil
Thanks again !

Hey Scott,
Thanks a lot for the new php package, including php-mysql with 5.5 client
