So I wanted a fresh MySQL 5.1 release on my Fedora 10 box.
Fedora comes with a mysql 5.0 package and the MySQL community
packages for 5.1 conflict with that in different ways. (to start
with MySQL vs mysql)
For some weird reason libmysqlclient (in mysql-libs) is required by redland, which is required by openoffice.org-core. I probaly never need the RDF funtionalities that redland provides me but I`m stuck with them anyhow.
So Fred pointed me
to
Remi repo for mysql 5.1
- yum --enablerepo remi install mysql-server
Now gives me a very nice MySQL 5.1 to play around with.
