Heavens no... I love my CentOS 5 server. I going to try and keep it around
as long as possible. I've got another machine in the rack that I've got
CentOS 7 installed on, but there are differences in that OS and the items
running on it that I don't like at all. SELinux comes to mind...

No, I definitely have plans on running CentOS5 for while long. Mostly
because there's an issue with one of the web apps I'm running on my C5
server that is having problems running correctly on C7. I haven't figured
out why yet.

I figured that since you mentioned the EOL date of 3.31, you
understood that meant no new updates for CentOS 5. No more support
for CentOS 5. That means you'd be putting in all this work to migrate
mysql on a platform that isn't supported anymore. Why bother updating
mysql then? Its going to be living on an unsupported platform anyway,
with no bug fixes or security patches.


I think I explained that above... There are issues with one of my main web applications on my CentOS 7 box that are taking a lot more time resolving then was anticipated, so I'd like to upgrade MySQL on the CentOS 5 server while I'm working things out.

Guess I'll stumble through this as well...
