Last weekend I updated the Debian package of MySQL to 5.0.67, the
latest Community Edition release. It was not uploaded into the
Debian archive, but is available from my home
directory on gluck (amd64 only at the moment). The next
Debian release lenny is frozen already, which means no newer
upstream releases get accepted into testing before lenny is
released, hence lenny definitely gets shipped with MySQL 5.0.51a.
We will not see MySQL 5.0.67 or 5.1 in lenny, but we will
continue providing backports of newer MySQL releases.
Our current primary goal regarding the MySQL packages in Debian
is to get 5.0.51a in shape for lenny, so please do not send us
mails asking about MySQL 5.1 or MySQL Cluster. When lenny got released we will
upload MySQL 5.0.67 (or any newer community release) to unstable,
and …
Dear LazyWeb, I want to use my Ubuntu laptop (on amd64 BTW) to build an RPM of Maatkit that will work on all RPM-based distros. Is it possible? Or are there enough differences between the RPM-based distros that I can’t do it? Mind you, the finished RPM ought to just have some man pages and Perl scripts, so I don’t think it will be platform- or distro-specific. But I am just not an expert on it.
The second question is, what do I need to put into my Makefile to do this? My ‘make all’ currently builds a .zip, a .tar.gz, and a .deb package — what needs to change to make that include .rpm?
Someone who is willing to help create .spec files, etc, etc will be immediately given commit rights to Maatkit’s SVN repository!
[Read more]I'm off in few hours to attend DebConf 8 in lovely Mar del Plata, Argentina. The only bummer is that its winter down there so this seaside resort is going to be a bit chlly and as a result Im not able to pack as light as I usually do. That being said, getting away from the string of 100 degree days that we've been having here in Austin isn't such a bad thing.
I had a great time at DebConf 7 in Edinburgh, particularly since it was a homecoming of sorts for me. This time its exciting since I've never been to Argentina before and have heard great things. Like last year, Sun is a Silver Sponsor of the event.

This guide shows how you can write the Apache2 access log to a MySQL database instead of a file. To achieve this, I use the Apache2 module mod_log_sql. I'm using a Debian Etch server in this tutorial.

How To Set Up WebDAV With MySQL Authentication On Apache2 (Debian Etch)
This guide explains how to set up WebDAV with MySQL authentication (using mod_auth_mysql) on Apache2 on a Debian Etch server. WebDAV stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning and is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allow users to directly edit files on the Apache server so that they do not need to be downloaded/uploaded via FTP. Of course, WebDAV can also be used to upload and download files.

How To Set Up A Load-Balanced MySQL Cluster With MySQL 5.1
This tutorial is based on Falko Timme's tutorial for MySQL Cluster 5.0. It shows how to configure a MySQL 5.1 cluster with five nodes: 1 x management, 2 x storage nodes and 2 x balancer nodes. This cluster is load-balanced by an Ultra Monkey package which provides heartbeat (for checking if the other node is still alive) and ldirectord (to split up the requests to the nodes of the MySQL cluster).
