Monty and all: I have re-applied all the Gemini table handler support and ported it to MySQL 4.0. It is too large to send as an email so the patch can be found at: ftp://ftp.nusphere.com/MySQL40/mysql40+gemini-patches.tar.gz There are 2 files in the patch, once for the configuration files and the other for the source code changes. Both need to be applied. The table handler files themselves (ha_gemini.cc and ha_gemini.h) have our (NuSphere) copyright on them, however as it has been mentioned many time previously, these files are based on the Berkeley table handler, so we can hold a shared copyright on the handler files. The remaining changes in support of the Gemini component are made to existing files that MySQL AB already holds the copyright to. You are welcome to the copyright of these changes too (even though I believe you already have it, as we have made no claim to it). The bottom line is that you are welcome to the copyright on the code for all the files/changes in the patch. Please accept this patch so we can move beyond this issue and continue to have a technical relationship. The business issues between our two companies should not prevent the development and maturing of the excellent MySQL Open Source product.
