Hi Michael, > Could someone please enlighten me? Why isn't a newer version of MySQL, > like 4.x, shipping with FC? Is it because Postgre is the DB of choice, > or is it a license thing? Funny. I was just thinking the same thing today and looked around a bit. Then I get a bugzilla mail about rpm deltas that hadn't been touched in months and now there you are again ;). Joe Orton (?) reported the license issue was fixed and the waiting was for new tarballs with the new FOSS-exception license. Further investigation showed that there are no new tarballs yet however... The latest is still 4.0.20 and that is dated earlier then the report that things are now fine. So it seems the ball is with MySQL AB this time. Sigh.
