Hi, I'm installing a set of SLES 9 servers, and trying to keep on the rpm only route, 'cos that's (IMO) a Good Thing. I've noticed that MySQl is installed as version mysql-4.0.18-32.13, and I'd rather have version 4.1.xxx installed. I know that SuSE update software for security reasons - could 4.1 be justified because of the change of password hash? Not having 4.1 isn't a killer, just it'd be nice ;-) Ta, Tom. -- Tom Knight System Administration Officer Arts & Humanities Data Service Web: http://www.ahds.ac.uk Email: tom.knight@ahds.ac.uk

I doubt that SUSE will do you this favour. But there are SLES9 RPMs of MySQL 4.1 on the MySQL web site - have you tried these?

I'm not the kind of guy who wants to have to recompile software for each security update - that may be lazy, but I feel I have better things to do with my time!

I haven't, 'cos I'd really rather have stuff that YaST online update will look after. Still, it's worth a look I guess. Ta for the info. I agree it's unlikely that SuSE will move to 4.1, but I wondered if any SuSE people here knew of any moves in that area.... Thanks, Tom.
