As some noticed, MySQL 4.1.7 is now in Raw Hide. The FLOSS exception is as yet not acceptable to our legal folks (that work is ongoing) so the LGPL-licensed 3.x client libraries and headers are still being included and any applications under GPL-incompatible licenses are being adjusted to use them. There is a known issue where 3.x clients can't connect to the 4.1.7 server unless --old-passwords is specified in my.cnf which I don't think is resolved in the 4.1.7 packages yet. Regards, joe
