Hi, my current package development can now be found on http://gitorious.org/maemoized-packages/maemoized-packages I started nearly from scratch and dropped all perl dependencies. It should be possible to run mysqld without any perl script. Mysql upstream ships some perl based helper scripts which I didn't include in the new packages. Because I am not an expert in bash scripting nor in familiar in detail with init.d I could really need help with the post,pre installer scripts. That part is still missing compared to the original debian packages.
