Keep in mind the following chain: Apache depends on PHP, PHP depends on MySQL. Updating MySQL can and will have ramifications for packages other than MySQL. Per Jessen wrote:

Ah! I didn't know you could do that. How is it done?
Somewhere in YaST I think. I'm not sure
And is it safe to add version 10.1 packages to a 10.0 system?
Probably :-)
I would not try it.
Why not Greg? If it works, it works - if it doesn't, it doesn't even install. 10.1 and 10.0 are not that fundamentally different. Given that Peter would rather not build from scratch, but still wants mysql5, trying out the package from 10.1 is a pretty good option, IMHO. Even if it installs and then for some unknown reason still doesn't work, it's easy to delete it, and re-install mysql4 from 10.0.
If you want to add packages from a newer/older version, then download the source rpm and recompile.
True - but Peter did not want to mess with that.
If you search the archives for my name and ruby (ie. freemyer ruby) I think you will find instructions on how to do it. (I had to ask, but now I've forgotten the answer.)
Something like "rpm -bb" ?
