What are the differences between centosplus mysql5 packages and RPMs that can be downloaded directly from mysql.com? I guess there was a reason why you guys rebuilt those RPMs. Other than for fun ;-)
There are a couple patches to make things play nice in RHEL/Centos involving libtool, the lib directory, a proper init script, proper buildrequires etc. They're both similar, but we have far more control over our packages and can provide better support. Ours are also much closer to what you'll find "upstream". Some packages are done based on name requirements, and mysql's packages don't match what the distro provides, which can cause conflicts. Our mysql packages are designed to be drop in replacements. Have I at made that at all clearer for you? oh yeah... and also...
