MySQL 5.1.46 is now available on Dotdeb for your Lenny servers, in amd64 and i386 flavours. It fixes a lot of annoying bugs and upgrades the InnoDB plugin to version 1.0.7 for more performances.
Be careful : the MySQL server is now split in two separate packages :
- mysql-server-core-5.1 that contains only the mysqld binary and some system files,
- mysql-server-5.1 that depends on mysql-server-core-5.1 and that contains the init scripts and utilities to run the MySQL server in a Debian environment.
The migration to this new packaging schema is transparent and will not break any dependencies.
As usual, please read the changes in MySQL 5.1.46 and what’s new in the InnoDB plugin 1.0.7 before upgrading.
