It's worse than that: it also trains repackagers to not be too quick on the draw to adopt a mysql update release. I can tell you that new mysql updates don't get into Fedora, let alone RHEL, till they've been around at least a month or two. That's not laziness on my part; that's the burnt child shunning the fire. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
