Hi ,

I would like to start the discussion on existence of two MySQL versions 
say 5.0 and 5.1.

On installing the 5.0 packages ,the symbolic links that are installed in 
the system look like

/usr/mysql/bin ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/bin
/usr/mysql/lib ...> /usr/mysql/5.0/lib
/usr/mysql/include ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/include
/usr/mysql/man ..> /usr/mysql/5.0/man

/etc/mysql/my.cnf ...> /etc/mysql/5.0/my.cnf
/var/mysql/data ...> /var/mysql/5.0/data

On installing the 5.1 package the symbolic links would change to

/usr/mysql/bin ...> /usr/mysql/5.1/bin
/usr/mysql/lib ...> /usr/mysql/5.1/lib
/etc/mysql/my.cnf ...> /etc/mysql/5.1/my.cnf
/var/mysql/data ..> /var/mysql/5.1/data


How should these symbolic links  be  customarily  handled? 

Please advise.

Thanks Sunanda
