Hello, I just made a personnal package of MySQL 4.x with some specfile I found somewhere I modified the compilation options too. I named my package mysql-4.0.20-1. Then I thought...: "what if the a MySQL >= 4.0.20 official package is released? It will overwrite my package!" (I update with yum only) What are the solutions? - listing mysql and mysql-server in the exclude= of yum.conf ? what drawbacks? - naming the package with an exotic name ? will mysql-4.0.20-1mihamina be enough to avoid automatic update ? what drawbacks? Thank you for all :-) -- ASPO Infogérance http://aspo.rktmb.org/activites/infogerance Unofficial FAQ fcolc http://faq.fcolc.eu.org/ LUG sur Orléans et alentours (France).
