Norbert Tretkowski recently worked on packaging MySQL 5.0.67, the latest Community Edition release of MySQL Server. But, since the next Debian version – Lenny – is already frozen, the packages were not uploaded to the official archive.
Instead of that, I rebuilt them and made them available on Dotdeb for Etch amd64/i386.
Please take a look at the official Changelog before upgrading and thank Norbert for his good work.

could you consider to add this patch to your MySQL packages ? http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/mysql/5.0/patches/userstats-5.0.62.patch
thnx
I’ll add this patch to my packages if the official Debian maintainer decides to add it too : My MySQL packages are just backports from Debian unstable/testing.
Please fill a bug report on Debian’s website to include these features.
Ok, I understand your opinion. But I don’t think these patches will get into official Debian release.
How difficult is to apply some patches to your src mysql package? I know there is some “debian way” for it…
Maybe you can give us some short howto for this.
Thanks
The best way to do it is to :
– fetch the source package (apt-get source mysql-server-5.0)
– uncompress it (dpkg-source -x *.dsc)
– put the patch in the debian/patches/ subdirectory and add it to the 00list file
– rebuild the packages (./debian/rules binary)
