Hi , We have MySQL 5.0 already in nevada as SVR4 packages and planning to integrate the MySQL 5.1 soon.The problem we are looking at right now is how to upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 because of the symbolic links in place .
On installing the 5.0 packages ,the symbolic links that are installed in the system look like /usr/mysql/bin ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/bin /usr/mysql/lib ...> /usr/mysql/5.0/lib /usr/mysql/include ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/include /usr/mysql/man ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/man /etc/mysql/my.cnf ...> /etc/mysql/5.0/my.cnf /var/mysql/data ...> /var/mysql/5.0/data On installing the 5.1 package the symbolic links would change to /usr/mysql/bin ...> /usr/mysql/5.1/bin /usr/mysql/lib ...> /usr/mysql/5.1/lib /usr/mysql/include ..> /usr/mysql/5.1/include /usr/mysql/man ..> /usr/mysql/5.1/man /etc/mysql/my.cnf ...> /etc/mysql/5.1/my.cnf /var/mysql/data ..> /var/mysql/5.1/data How should these symbolic links be customarily handled at the package level . If 5.0 is existing then can the links be overwritten which is the existing behaviour ? Appreciate your help .
