Besides what Mike & Mary said, there's also autorpm (www.autorpm.org)
which at one point used to come with RedHat ... until they decided to go
with the paid subsciption model and replaced it with up2date.
If you can't find updates for the packages that depend on the older mysql
you're in a bit of a bind though.
Oh yeah... tip with autorpm
Turn off the PGP required in the redhat config unless you want to download
*ALL* packages. Also in pools/redhat-updates uncomment the Aussie section
and comment most of the US ones to "buy australian packets".
