In the past it was a license issue with the fact that the GPL conflicted with various plugins that were LGPL/BSD based and needed an LGPL licensed core. I dont know if that has changed with the various MySQL variances that have been put into its licenses.
Thanks for the reply Steve. I figured it might be something like that.
Sure would like to see the version get bumped though. I prefer using
out-of-the-box apps on my machines.
I think it will be a while for that to happen unless they put out a LGPL/BSD wrapper that these plugins can tie in. Even then I am not sure how usable it would be since many of them want to link against the MySQL.so libraries which would require for the whole thing to be GPL'd..
[However this is where I am venturing into IANAL lines as what various software licenses mean .. and can interact is a pain.]
Be careful of that Left turn on I-25.. you can end up almost anywhere.
So true, but the left turn sure beats the right turn in my opinion.
Just dont ski down Sandia West.
