The best way to stay current with MySQL new versions is not to install its SuSE implementation in a first place. Assuming that you already have your SuSE Mysql installation.

then copy that mysql-x.x.x.tar.gz file into /usr/local unpack it and set directory permissions to mysql user/group Check your config files left from SuSE modify them as needed. Then start new mysql server and there you go.

I'll give this a shot, I think. Hopefully I don't need any of the dependencies from my initial installation. What the heck, it's mainly a testing & demo LAN - if I screw up the whole LAN, I can always rebuild, eh?
