up2date can be configured to skip packages update. You just have to add something like this : removeSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including wildcards that up2date will not remove removeSkipList=kernel*; in your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date. It can be configured by the GUI of up2date as it should me mentioned in the file : # Automatically generated Red Hat Update Agent config file, do not edit. # Format: 1.0 the differents packages for mysql: [root@sdmlx03 ~]# rpm -qa | grep mysql mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysqlclient10-devel-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 mod_auth_mysql-2.6.1-2.2 mysqlclient10-3.23.58-4.RHEL4.1 libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-10.RHEL4.1 mysql-server-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-devel-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 mysql-bench-4.1.20-1.RHEL4.1 php-mysql-4.3.9-3.15 To find old rpm's of mysql 4.0, I don't think you'll find it in RHEL official releases as you can see on www.distrowatch.com : Package RHEL5(beta1) RHEL4 RHEL3 RHEL2.1 mysql (5.0.24a) 5.0.22 4.1.7 3.23.58 3.23.41 If you find a rpm, don't forget to make sure it won't be installed inthe same directory of your running copy of 4.1(don't forget /etc/my.cnf)... or.... Perhaps it should be a good idea to download the sources and make it, installing it in a new location. Good luck ;-) ________________________________ Pierre-Stéphane BATON DI - OI/IT Consultant Trasys-OSI Support informatique Unix/Linux E01-H14-L44 - Tel :+32 (0)71 442797 Alcatel Alenia Space ETCA (DI/SYS) Rue Chapelle BEAUSSART, 101 B-6032 Mont-sur-Marchienne Adrian Chow <achow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Envoyé par : redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx 12/09/2006 12:10 Veuillez répondre à General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> A redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx cc Objet Downgrade packages in Redhat Enterprise ES 4 Hi, I have Redhat Enterprise ES 4. It is currently very updated at update 4. However I might need to run MySQL 4.0 which is expiring at 30th Sept 2006. Currently it is running MySQL 4.1. I have gone to the Redhat Network but could not find MySQL 4.0 packages under the ES4. Is it still available for download? There are only MySQL 4.1 packages. If I go to ES3, it will not have 4.0 packages. ES3 has MYSQL 3.2.3 packages. Also I would need some help to configure up2date so that it does not auto-update the mysql package when I patch up the server. Any help? Thanks. adrian ******************************************************************************************************* CONFIDENTIALITY CAUTION: This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and contains information that is privileged and confidential.
