From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030711 Description of problem: I am being forced to upgrade to ES - no problem except the timescale is not too friendy. Mysql seems a late addition. It's omitted from the basic release and I wonder if it's current. My 7.3 system uses mysql-3.23.58-1.73. It also seems to support several processes to do the job. Given that I rely on mysql - I am just wondering why it's apparently 'worse'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mysql-3.23.58-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.on ES2 rpm -q mysql 2.on 7.3 rpm -q mysql 3. Actual Results: ES3: pc$ rpm -q mysql mysql-3.23.58-1 V7.3: pc$ rpm -q mysql mysql-3.23.58-1.73 Additional info:
mysql-3.23.58 is the most current version of mysql that Red Hat ships. Why do you think ES3 is not current?
It seems reasonable to assume that mysql-3.23.58-1.73 was a later revision than mysql-3.23.58-1. If this is not the case, then fine and I obviously need a lesson in the numbering scheme. I seem to recall that there were several changes to mysql on 7.3 and wondered if they had been applied to the version shipped with ES. Also, on 7.3 mysql runs as several processes - whilst on ES it is a single process - it was this aspect that I was wondering about.
I see the confusion. On packages for supported (but not current) OS levels, we postfix with the OS level. mysql-3.23.58-1.73 is mysql-3.23.58-1 for RHL 7.3. Both have been built using the same spec file with the same switches.
OK - many thanks for your time.
