I know, but this is not really an option for such a virtual company as ours - I have never physically worked on any of my build hosts as they are located in Sweden, while I work from Germany. So I am a bit hesitant to have to rely on remote reboots. In addition to that it would complicate our build process, as we currently build all binaries on all platforms in parallel. > > I have not decided which Linux Distribution to use, > > though - maybe Yellowdog? > > My recommendation would be, as always, Debian. :-) > But thats a metter of taste. > > You can install nearly every distro on PPC. > Good examples are: YellowDog, Mandrake, Red Hat, Suse, Gentoo, Debian OK, thanks for the info! > > Unfortunately my favourite Linux distribution (SuSE) > > does not support the PPC platform anymore :( > > SUSE has very good PPC support. > IBM even recommands SUSE and RedHat together with their big POWER-machines. > For PPC you need to use the SUSE Server version.

If you have some harddisk space left, then you can install Linux on one of your MACs. > I have not decided which Linux Distribution to use, > though - maybe Yellowdog? My recommendation would be, as always, Debian. :-) But thats a metter of taste. You can install nearly every distro on PPC. Good examples are: YellowDog, Mandrake, Red Hat, Suse, Gentoo, Debian > Unfortunately my favourite Linux distribution (SuSE) > does not support the PPC platform anymore :( SUSE has very good PPC support. IBM even recommands SUSE and RedHat together with their big POWER-machines. For PPC you need to use the SUSE Server version. I have tried Yellow Dog on one of my MACs. = the install was a piece of cake. On my Pegasos ( www.pegasosppc.com ) I'm very happy with Debian. The Pegasos is a really nice, geeky machine. With a Pegasos you could release binaries for MorphOS as well. :-) Kind regards Gunnar -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Preferable > tgz) Yes, we plan to offer Linux/PPC binaries in the near future - we're currently working on purchasing a system for that. I have not decided which Linux Distribution to use, though - maybe Yellowdog? Unfortunately my favourite Linux distribution (SuSE) does not support the PPC platform anymore :( Bye, LenZ - -- Lenz Grimmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senior Production Engineer MySQL GmbH, http://www.mysql.de/ Hamburg, Germany For technical support contracts, visit https://order.mysql.com/?ref=mlgr -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQE/z1T8SVDhKrJykfIRAl3oAJ9btP3tEBIRhw1EP9SkuIJCxM+LegCfSWbd 483z4GYhyEYmm4i5sJ/DvJ8= =FKbY -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

MySQL 4.1.1 has been released
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, MySQL 4.1.1, a new version of the popular Open Source/Free Software database management system, has been released. It is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. This is the second Alpha development release of the 4.1 tree, adding many new features (see below) and fixing recently discovered bugs. Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version. As this code is currently labeled "Alpha", we do not recommend that this version be used in production environments yet! However, we encourage you to test and evaluate it and, more importantly, report any bugs or observations to our bug tracking database at http://bugs.mysql.com/. Please note, that for us to resolve a bug report, a reproducible test is required. See "How to report a bug" at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php for more details before filing a bug report. We appreciate your support! For a more detailed list of features in MySQL 4.1, please see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/MySQL_4.1_Nutshell.html News from the ChangeLog: Functionality added or changed: * Added `IGNORE' option for `DELETE' statement. * The MySQL source distribution now also includes the MySQL Internals Manual `internals.texi'. * Added `mysql_set_server_option()' C API client function to allow multiple statement handling in the server to be enabled or disabled. * The `mysql_next_result()' C API function now returns `-1' if there are no more result sets. * Renamed `CLIENT_MULTI_QUERIES' connect option flag to `CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS'. To allow for a transition period, the old option will continue to be recognized for a while. * Require `DEFAULT' before table and database default character set. This enables us to use `ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET=...' to change the character set for all `CHAR', `VARCHAR', and `TEXT' columns in a table. * Added `MATCH ... AGAINST( ... WITH QUERY EXPANSION)' and the `ft_query_expansion_limit' server variable. * Removed unused `ft_max_word_len_for_sort' server variable. * Full-text search now supports multi-byte character sets and the Unicode `utf8' character set. (The Unicode `ucs2' character set is not yet supported.) * Phrase search in `MATCH ... AGAINST ( ... IN BOOLEAN MODE)' no longer matches partial words. * Added aggregate function `BIT_XOR()' for bitwise XOR operations. * Replication over SSL now works. * The `START SLAVE' statement now supports an `UNTIL' clause for specifying that the slave SQL thread should be started but run only until it reaches a given position in the master's binary logs or in the slave's relay logs. * Produce warnings even for single-row `INSERT' statements, not just for multiple-row `INSERT' statements. Previously, it was necessary to set `SQL_WARNINGS=1' to generate warnings for single-row statements. * Added `delimiter' (`\d') command to the `mysql' command-line client for changing the statement delimiter (terminator). The default delimiter is semicolon. * `CHAR', `VARCHAR', and `TEXT' columns now have lengths measured in characters rather than in bytes. The character size depends on the column's character set. This means, for example, that a `CHAR(n)' column for a multi-byte character set will take more storage than before. Similarly, index values on such columns are measured in characters, not bytes. * The `DATABASE()' function now returns `NULL' rather than the empty string if there is no database selected. * Added `--sql-mode=NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO' option to suppress the usual behaviour of generating the next sequence number when zero is stored in an `AUTO_INCREMENT' column. With this mode enabled, zero is stored as zero; only storing `NULL' generates a sequence number. * *Warning: Incompatible change!* Client authentication now is based on 41-byte passwords in the `user' table, not 45-byte passwords as in 4.1.0. Any 45-byte passwords created for 4.1.0 must be reset after running the `mysql_fix_privilege_tables' script. * *Warning: Incompatible change!* Renamed the C API `mysql_prepare_result()' function to `mysql_get_metadata()' as the old name was confusing. * Added `DROP USER 'username'@'hostname'' statement to drop an account that has no privileges. * The interface to aggregated UDF functions has changed a bit. You must now declare a `xxx_clear()' function for each aggregate function `XXX()'. * The `CONCAT_
