Upgrading to MySQL 5.0.45 on RHEL and CentOS
July 18, 2007 by Jason · 26 Comments
As happens every 2 months or so, the community release of MySQL has been updated. The 5.0.45 release contains a substantial number of bug fixes since the last community release (5.0.41) but perhaps more interestingly, there were about 100 bug fixes since the last Enterprise release (5.0.44) just two weeks prior! This is definitely a release that I'd recommend all users of MySQL 5.0 upgrade to.
While MySQL does provide binary RPMs for RHEL & CentOS for their community releases, the binaries provided are not packaged in the same format as those that ship with RHEL, CentOS and Fedora. For those that want to stick with the "Red Hat"-style packages, add my yum repository to your system and run a "yum update".

Upgrading to MySQL 5.0.44 on RHEL and CentOS
July 3, 2007 by Jason · 9 Comments
Another month brings another version of MySQL under the 'Monthly Rapid Update' program. This one seems to have been hidden from public view on the main MySQL FTP site but the source showed up on a mirror server (thanks Pair.com!) so I've put together my customary binary RPMs for RedHat Enterprise Linux & CentOS 4.
As with all of my releases, all you'll need to do is run a 'yum update' if you're a user of my repository. Those wishing to compile from source can do so with the src.rpm at the bottom of this post but unless you've got a good reason, I wouldn't recommend it because it takes forever and a day for the testing to run to completion and it will fail near the end if you're one of those people that likes to compile as 'root'.

XCache packages updated to 1.2.1
July 3, 2007 by Jason · 27 Comments
Now that the final version of XCache 1.2.1 has been released I've updated the binaries in my repositories to the newest version. This update fixes several bugs including segfaulting when using the var cache functions when the var cache is disabled and improves compatibility with Apache httpd 1.3.x and the Zend Optimizer.
Repository users will need to run a 'yum update' to pull down this package. Please note that the config file has changed somewhat so I've set this package to rename your old 'xcache.ini' file to 'xcache.ini.rpmsave'.
PHP 5.2.3 Packages Updated
June 19, 2007 by Jason · 38 Comments
I've updated the PHP 5.2.3 packages to fix a bug I introduced for the 'php-cgi' binary (in that it wasn't actually a CGI/FastCGI file, oops...) by not reading the changelog closely enough.
If you use FastCGI (please tell me no one is still using CGI) then this update is a must for you. If you don't, don't worry about it.
Upgrading to MySQL 5.0.42 on RHEL and CentOS
June 15, 2007 by Jason · 9 Comments
The source package for the Enterprise release of MySQL 5.0.42 has been available on their FTP for quite some time now. Unfortunately, they left the release notes page at "Not yet released" until just recently so I've been kind of hesitant to actually build and release binary packages. That said, the release notes have been updated (to show a release date of 3 weeks ago) and I'm now making that version available to all those without an Enterprise subscription.
To the users of my repository, you know what to do. If you aren't an existing user, you can either click the "Yum Repository" link at the top of the page, or download the src.rpm at the bottom of this post and rebuild the binaries yourself. If you choose the latter, remember that MySQL cannot be built as 'root'.

Upgrading to PHP 5.2.3 on RHEL and CentOS
June 1, 2007 by Jason · 55 Comments
PHP 5.2.3 has been released. This version does not have the massive number of bug fixes that came with 5.2.2 (which included many of the patches from the Month of PHP Bugs), but it does have some useful fixes included, including the fix for the HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA bug that was introduced in PHP 5.2.2.
This build was relatively straight forward and didn't require any modifications to the spec file from my build of 5.2.2. I'll probably do a respin when MySQL 5.0.42 is finally marked as "released" (the source package is already available but the changelog hasn't been updated with an official release date).

Upgrading to MySQL 5.0.41 on RHEL and CentOS
May 11, 2007 by Jason · 14 Comments
As happened with 5.0.36 and 5.0.37, it looks like the MySQL 5.0.40 Enterprise-only release has been followed almost immediately by a community version of 5.0.41. As the purpose of my Yum repository is to keep your LAMP stack on the bleeding-edge, I bring you RHEL/CentOS RPMs for "MySQL 5.0.41"!
I don't have an actual changelog for 5.0.40 to 5.0.41 because the only changelogs that are published are for 5.0.36 -> 5.0.38 -> 5.0.40 and 5.0.37 -> 5.0.41 for Enterprise and Community releases respectively. That said, if anyone would like to go through the changelogs for 5.0.38, 5.0.40 and 5.0.41 and find a list of differences, I'd be happy to post up the details with proper credit given.

Upgrading to PHP 5.2.2 on RHEL and CentOS
May 5, 2007 by Jason · 33 Comments
It's been quite a while since the last release of PHP 5.2. The article I posted on upgrading to PHP 5.2.1 was published back on 2/10/2007, just short of 3 months ago. That all said, PHP 5.2.2 has finally been released and it includes many of the patches that were submitted under the recent "Month of PHP Bugs" (formerly known as "March").
The spec file goes largely unchanged from my release of 5.2.1, although the source has been updated to 5.2.2 and one RH-supplied patch (#50) has been updated to reflect some of the code changes in this newest release.

Upgrading to MySQL 5.0.40 on RHEL and CentOS
May 5, 2007 by Jason · 2 Comments
Another month brings another Enterprise-only release of the MySQL database server under the "Monthly Rapid Update" program. As with the last few Enterprise releases, I've built RHEL-style 32- & 64-bit binary packages for all of the community users out there so that they can keep their systems up-to-date.
The spec file is unmodified from my release of 5.0.38 but the source has been updated to 5.0.40. If you would like to download the src.rpm to compile yourself or simply to look and see what I've done, feel free to use the link at the bottom of this post.

Subversion packages in repo upgraded to 1.4.3
April 23, 2007 by Jason · 10 Comments
After taking a long weekend to enjoy my new FIOS TV service (by the way, if you haven't seen FIOS TV then you haven't actually watched TV, this is crystal clear), I decided to build Subversion 1.4.3 packages for my repo. These, as with the last batch, are based on DAG's spec file but have been compiled against newer versions of apr & httpd.
Questions and comments, leave them below. Otherwise, enjoy.
