This is verbatim. MySQL-Max is an add on package that comes with the 
MySQL packages from MySQL. It includes some of the more advanced 
database systems like InnoDB which is ACID compliant etc...

Well you'd think so, but here's the question then, why doesn't rpm -Uvh 
complain??

I also need to state again that I realize there are packages that 
require recompilation like perl-DBI & php, which I've done. The problem 
I'm having is with yum after I install from my personal repo these 
MySQL packages and ask for a yum update.

This may very well be a packaging problem. The thing is, it can't 
entirely be, since well rpm -Uvh or rpm -i doesn't complain about the 
dependancies, though I guess I haven't tried to upgrade from the 
mysql-3.23 packages to these, but still. If I need to modify the .spec 
file for the MySQL packages that is fine as well. I just think there is 
a subtle problem I can't figure out.
