MySQL 5.1 on Fedora 10

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

  1. yum --enablerepo remi install  mysql-server

Now gives me a very nice MySQL 5.1 to play around with.

#3 Matthew Montgomery : The 5.0 libmysqlclient is

The 5.0 libmysqlclient is provided by Shared compatibility libraries (4.x, 5.x libs in same package) package.

MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.30-0.glibc23.$arch.rpm

That package should replace mysql-libs package just fine.
