We release RPMS for RH9 because that should work fine in both newer and older distributions, including FedoraCore3, which I use personally and RedHat Enterprise Linux 3. Similar situation with SuSE. We will be also releasing packages for newer distributions in the future, but deciding what distribution version to release for, considering there are literally hundreds of distro x version combinations out there, is a bit of a challenge.

All,

Just wondering why RHL9 & SL9.1 are the most recent RPMs available for download?

I have searched the list archives and did not find anything relevent.

Since the binaries being provided by MySQL AB are "out of date" and do not work on newer releases, I am working on building (RPM) packages for Fedora & SUSE distributions. In the meantime, I continue to "maintain" packages for mysqlcc, though I mostly use the mysql command line client.

Any idea when the guys who are busily working on releasing new versions of Administrator & Query Browser are going to get around to updating their code to work on modern Linux distributions? Are they all still running those old versions themselves (not that I really think this)?
