I just expected to see RPMs similar as they are available for download from dev.mysql.com, thanks for clarification. Ah thanks Jeremy.

I apologize for it being out of date, it's my fault. :) Actually there are CentOS/RHEL binaries as RPMs there, but all RPMs for each set are packaged together as a .tar file, as MySQL provides them. For example, mysql-enterprise-gpl-5.0.54-0.rhel4.x86_64.tar. Regards, Jeremy Hi Peter,

Though as srpm is available you should be able to rebuild it on 5 with no problems. Regarding using Community vs Enterprise version - in most cases Community is quite as good and it can contain more features. I've seen couple of bugs in community which were not in enterprise but it is vice versa. It looks like this is only in CentOS4 centosplus by now.

Though I understand you do not have bandwidth to provide set of binaries for everything. My point is still there is a value in CentOS binaries :) Thanks Eric,

These sources are under GPL and publicly available from RedHat together with other GPL packages. CentOS guys took these sources and built it. Also note - MySQL Enterprise Sources are still available from MySQL, they are just made rather inconvenient and not very visible: http://mysql.bkbits.net/ Agree with you :) Kostas,

Once again the Enterprise schema is proved stupid, which is a shame since a good schema would benefit both the community and paying customers, as Baron explains in his very nice post: http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2007/08/12/what-would-make-me-buy-mysql-enterprise/ Does this mean that one of MySQL AB’s paying customers “leaked” the source of the Enterprise version (which is their right to do) or I missed something?
