-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 MySQL has shifted focus (probably for IPO, appearing serious and with differentiated products for costumer value) on their open source version, closing down the Enterprise source and releasing it only to payed costumers. Here's some food for thought: * http://www.linux.com/feature/118489 * http://mike.kruckenberg.com/archives/2007/08/mysql-takes-another-step-away-from-open-source.html * http://www.planetmysql.org/kaj/?p=123
Here's some relevant changes on "theirsql": - - the mainstream version is now the enterprise one, not the community (i.e: as opposite for Fedora and RHEL) - - the community version will only have features after the enterprise version is stable - - the enterprise will have bug fixes every month and quarterly service pack - - the community will only have fixes every 3 months, on the source release - - it will never benefit from the worldwide community testing (stated here: http://www.mysql.com/products/which-edition.html#difference) These changes are crippling the community that worked for "yoursql" version. Hopefully the guys of CentOS will ask for access to the Enterprise Source. - -- Vitor Domingos Paradigma.pt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGvEm7zLeQsaqPtNIRCtQPAJ9Am/0id5Y2Ops80LTSlRDFeL90kwCeLx1X JofKc0JUUlxI5UZKOCPaKDE= =s8oa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.paradigma.pt/mailman/listinfo/tce
