[opensuse] MySQL 5 rpms for SuSE 9.3?
Does anyone know where I can get mysql version 5 for SuSE 9.3? I really should upgrade but that's a huge job. I'd have to spend all weekend doing it. thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are 5.0 and 5.1 rpms for 10.0 in the buildservice: http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=mysql&baseproject=SUSE%3ASL-10.0 , if you're lucky, it'll work on 9.3 too. If not, you can take the src.rpm and rebuild.
I really should upgrade
Definitely. Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I really wouldn't install RPMs built for 10.0 on 9.3 - you'll be heading for a world of pain. Rebuilding _might_ work but...

Definitely.
Second this sentiment. An upgrade really shouldn't take all weekend. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ha! How often do you do upgrades? I mean, not a fresh install? It does take the weekend. The machine is up and running in 3..6 hours, but then you are adjusting configs and solving problems the rest of the week. I do upgrade, so I know... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I'm still shaking 'bugs' out of 10.3 on the main server for our office that suffered a unrecoverable disk error on Jan 2...

It depends. Desktops/laptops with every release. As was stated, these aren't really an issue anyway. Servers - not as frequently. But then for servers I use SLES. Even so, I don't find that I need to adjust configs for the rest of the week. I suppose if you count testing time into the 'time to upgrade' then my upgrades might take a while. (Not forgetting making sure I have a last known good backup, or at least a roll-back method)

Fair enough - everyone has a different experience. I also see from another thread that you recompile your kernels which presumably adds to your upgrade/tweaking/fixing time as well... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yep, I count that. And asking here, too ;-)

Me too. Plus a spare partition with a working system.

X'-) Right... but I don't do that day one. The compile alone can take 4 hours in this machine, considering I 'nice' it so I can continue with my things. There is also the first YOU run, that also takes a longish time, there are so many patches. I don't do that from the DVD. I consider about a week to have every thing running correctly, but of course the machine is running and usable from day one. The upgrade itself takes about 6 hours, maybe more, because it downloads things that aren't in the DVD from remote repositories; the adsl has an hiccup now and then, and Yast dutifully pops up asking whether I want to retry or skip... and as I don't sit that many hours waiting for it to finish, when I come back and see that pop up I get somewhat mad. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I'll third this one. I loved 9.3 and 10.0, but as many of the wonderful os application started utilizing mysql 5.x and php 5.2.x, building from source or rebuilding became a real pain. With 10.0 now out of support, a reinstall of 10.3 became the only real option. The fresh install of 10.3 can be fairly painless if you. First "the real quick and dirty way", then "the quick and dirty" version: THE REAL QUICK AND DIRTY WAY: Pay $94, get the new 500G hard drive, configure as primary, set existing drive as a slave, pop the 10.3 dvd in, reboot, partition and install on your new drive, mount the needed old partitions and restore your data and config, done. You will still be able to boot 9.3 from grub if you need to. THE QUICK AND DIRTY WAY: The Backup (1) backup your data (2) backup /home (your whole /home, not just pieces of it) (3) backup /etc (being able to refer to the old config is priceless) (4) backup /var/lib/(what you need) [named/dyn, mysql, etc.] and anything you have in /usr you need (/usr/local/etc) (5) dump your database to text and backup as needed (mysqldump -A > all_databases.sql The Install (6) put the 10.3 dvd in and reboot/install (7) restore the pieces of home you need (.ssh, .procmailrc, .bashrc, etc.) (8) reload your data (9) reload your database (mysql -u root < all_databases.sql) (10) reconfigure your needed services with reference to old /var /etc (http, dhcp, dns, postfix, pptp, smb, ldap, etc..) The config files haven't changed that much since 9.3, there are just a few extra parameters there. I still rely on much of the SuSE 9.3 documentation for configuration needs because they still explain the actual manual editing and options of the proper config files and not the pushbutton yast approach and they are 100% relevant. -- David C.

_might_ work fine, but also not a great option. SLES 9 is closest to SuSE Linux 9.1, so you might also find that these packages have massive dependency problems as well. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, i've been using the mysql-4 package from 9.3 in sles9sp3 in two of our servers without issues for a loooong time.... Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you mean to type you've been using mysql-4 packages on SLES9 in an unsupported configuration/environment for a looooong time.... :-) Seriously, it might well work but YMMV as the packages weren't built for that target, and there are changes between the versions (kernel and glibc etc.). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
