RE Downgrade packages in Redhat Enterprise ES 4

[pierre_stephane.baton at alcatelaleniaspace.com]

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 at 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 ;-)

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
