mysql 4.x in fedoracore 2

[Christopher Hicks]

I've been happily using the rpms provided by MySQL for running MySQL 3.x, 
4.0, and 4.1 under a variety of Red Hat linuxes.  One of the things on my 
todo list is to take my mysql mirror and build a yum-compatible repository 
for MySQL based on it.  If anybody wants to help out with this drop me a 
note off list.

Its regretable that Red Hat has decided to suckle so tightly at the 
postgresql tuit and given their postgresql-based Red Hat Database they 
are clearly motivated to discourage folks from adopting MySQL.  Given how 
awesome Red Hat has been in so many respects I can forgive them for 
letting their bias sway their opinions occassionally, particularly given 
that its so easy to work around.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make
it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way
is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
