MySQL 5.1 dependancy?

Hi people.

I just did a 'git pull' and was about to start building, when I though
"I'd better check the UPGRADING notes".

This doc states that MySQL 5.1 is required. Now last time I checked,
this upgrade wasn't such a good idea - particularly with DBMail if I
remember messages from a couple of months back. Is it now OK to upgrade
to MySQL 5.1? Is it really a dependancy, or is 5.0.x OK?

Thanks.

Dan

Dan,
I'm not sure who put that in the UPGRADING doc, but 5.0.x will work
fine. I have not tested 5.1.x for performance fixes in a while. 5.1.x
could be ok now, but if you can run 5.0.83 then do that for best bets. I
have not tried 5.4.x, so I can't comment on that other than its pretty
new. The 6.x is a definite no as index key sizes are not big enough with
utf-8 to accommodate some of our indexs on multi-columns.

Great. Thanks for the quick response :)

I probably messed up when I wanted to change 4.1 into 5.0

The debian packages for 5.1 are still stuck in 'experimental'. Until
debian and ubuntu start releasing 5.1 in their releases, I'd stay clear
of 5.1
