So keep an eye on debian-security-announce and every time there's a security upgrade, you build yourself a new package. Better than upgrading to their package and having your mysql support evaporate while the package is in use ;-) I hate to echo others, but it really is a pity you're not using Gentoo for this. You'd probably just have to set the appropriate mysql USE flag and forget about it forever more ;-) Cheers, Gareth
