What are the differences between centosplus mysql5 packages and RPMs

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".
I have been working on installing a webserver w/ CentOS 4 and mysql 5.
When I started I didn't see mysql5 in centosplus so I installed the ones
from AB. I've been having trouble with SeLinux though, so I was curious
if you had done something specifically to make this work. (My best
guess is the lib directory and stuff caused this to work if it moved it
to match the default file contexts).
Anyways, I'm planning on switching over since the server isnt' deployed
and this way I can get updates. Thanks to the centosplus people for
adding mysql5, you're saving me a bit of work.
