Hi Jan Pieter, all !

Dear mysql-ers,

It seems that the Mac OS X PowerPC 64 bit version of the MySQL
Community server is no longer available.

That was true in some versions, there were issues with the binary failing the tests. But as of 5.0.45, it is available again (and we sure hope it remains so in the future).


Now I'm wondering which version I should use on a G5 PowerMac. PowerPC
32 bit or Universal?

If the OS X PowerPC 64 bit binaries were not published for a specific version of MySQL, they should not be included in the "Universal" packages either:
We publish all packages we built for all platforms, unless
- the build failed (say, we have a machine or compiler issue), or
- the binary failed the tests too badly.
In both these cases, we will publish it neither on its own nor in "Universal" packages.

A PowerPC 32 bit version should always work on 64 bit hardware, the only possible issue I see is the size of caches and other RAM areas you configured.


Thanks for any insights.

You are welcome,
Jörg
