PRESS RELEASE: For immediate release.
Contact: Ning Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (443) 921-0381
PD Inc. has open-sourced their "compatibility RPM" that enables system
administrators to install MySQL 4.x on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL3)
Operating System with minimal impact.
Baltimore -- August 1, 2005 -- PD Inc. today announced the release of
their MySQL-shared compat RPMs for RHEL3. With these compatibility RPMs a
system administrator can now upgrade to MySQL 4.x whilst keeping legacy
libmysqlclient.so.10 and libmysqlclient.so.12 client libraries as provided
by the RPMs and maintaining maximum Red Hat support compliance.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Operating System is one of the most
commonly used open-source operating systems. More than 1/3 of the server
market uses RHEL, including all Linux servers from IBM, and Dell. There
are current limitations on RHEL support, limiting system administrators
from reasonable deviations in application selection on the system. MySQL
greater than 3.23 is not supported by Red Hat, Inc. on RHEL3. Normally to
upgrade to MySQL 4.x many other applications on the system need to be
upgraded and/or recompiled including Apache, PHP, and Perl. In doing so,
Red Hat, Inc. no longer will support these system modifications.
To solve this problem, PD Inc. has now released two compatibility RPM
solutions. One for MySQL 4.0 and the other for MySQL 4.1. This open-source
software allows system administrator to upgrade MySQL 4.x without
upgrading other applications. With the a compat RPM, an IT department can
minimize the non compliant applications installed, reduce the workload on
staff, and ensure a smoother transition. These RPMs can be downloaded
from: http://public.pdinc.us/rpms/mysql
