mysqlclient using mysql 5.0.92

Asked by Shaun Hines

It's not a huge problem and I see someone brought this up before about mysql 5.1. But would it be possible to keep mysqlclient updated along with the other mysql packages?

The current client was compiled against mysql 5.0.92. I just installed your package for mysql 5.5.24

mysqlclient15 is at 5.0.92 in ius-el5, and mysqlclient16 is at 5.1.61 in ius-el6... both are behind, yes... but they don't have anything to do with the mysql version... mysqlclientXX is for stock RHEL packages that were built against stock MySQL... so that they still function.

Keeping them up-to-date is ideal, but not necessary. Actually the best approach would be if mysqlclientXX was only maintained for the version of MySQL in stock RHEL... but that is harder to maintain affectively.

Are you experiencing some kind of issues?

It's not a big issue...phpadmin just warns me that I'm using a much older library.

Would it be possible for you guys to build a mysqlclient package against your latest build of mysql and install it side-by-side with the stock mysqlclient? I'm guessing for the error to go away in phpmyadmin you would also have to recompile the php54-mysql package pointing to the updated mysqlclient .

What would be the potential complications of doing something like this?
