I have been watching the MySQL5 dialog with interest and finally decided to
install 5.0 myself.
My process;
1) Download and install the source rpm.
2) Change to the usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory
3) Run rpmbuild
--> rpmbuild -bb mysql-5.0.18.spec ( and wait forever).
4) Back up all databases.
5) Install the rpms
--> rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force MySQL-*.i386.rpm
6) Run mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=XXXXXXX
--> mysql_fix_privilege_tables --password=XXXXXXX
7) Check all ok except mysql-admin (mysqladmin ok though)
[root@localhost SPECS]# mysqladmin status -p
Enter password:
