RPM of the first Release Candidate of MySQL Community Server 5.5 are available in remi-test repository for fedora 13, 14 and EL 5.

To read :

This build use a spec file close to the one from Rawhide

The Federated, Archive and Blackhole storage engines are provided as plugin. See the comments in the configuration file.

WARNING: before upgrading, a full backup of your databases seems mandatory (a logical dump using mysqldump for example).

Simplest way to install is to use yum !

yum --enablerepo remi-test update mysql-server

For whose who prefer the download and manual installation, see the repository

Like after each upgrade, running the mysql_upgrade command is required. It checks all tables in all databases for incompatibilities with the current version of MySQL Server. If a table is found to have a possible incompatibility, it is checked. If any problems are found, the table is repaired. In all case, reading the documentation is recommended:

MySQL 5.1 and 5.5 provides the same version of the client library : libmysqlclient.so.16. Which means that binary compatibility is preserved.

PHP works well, but send a warning during the connection:

Warning(2): mysql_connect(): Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50150 Library:50506

I have temporally patch the php 5.3.4-dev version available in remi-test to disable this message and avoid the flood in the server log.
