mysql 5.1 is out

[aus-city]

Requesting mysql 5.1 as its out now

[scott]

Yup, and it has major major issues. I absolutely do not recommend anyone use it at this time.

What about the actual version of MySQL 5.0.67?

[aus-city]

I was running 5.0.75 I built.

mysql-5.1.30 I am running on plesk no issues at all, this version had a lot of fixes.

You do have to build mysqlclient15 compat libraries. I just tweaked mine to 5.0.75 and added the nds libraries as these are now .3 in 5.1 as compared to old .2

Perhaps now as I have stable plesk Scott will build 5.1

If you want I can give you my srpms and you can build your own. All my srpms based on rawhide (fedora 11). I have only built f8 and f10 i386 versions.

5.0.74 is in atomic-testing now. 5.1 still has issues on the test server I'm running it on. The following page lists the open bugs:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/open-bugs.html

Quite a few of these are show stoppers

Even Monty said to be careful of 5.1:

http://monty-says.blogspot.com/

"The reason I am asking you to be very cautious about MySQL 5.1 is that there are still many known and unknown fatal bugs in the new features that are still not addressed."

[scott]

Monty for those of you who dont know, was founder and chief architect of Mysql

Most of these addressed in 5.1.31 is that what you tested Scott?

[scott]

yes indeed

[aus-city]

Scott,

Have you tested 5.1.34? It's got all the old bugs squashed. Remi has builds for all fedora down to 7 as well as it's now in f11 for release. My plesk server been running it and no issues or SQL errors on the forums. You have to build a libcompat to make plesk happy but that's easy.

[scott]

yes, the innodb problem is still there. I was checking out mariadb, apparently monty has collected most of the mysql development team from sun/oracle to work on it. Check it out here: http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/MariaDB
