mysql

[Jan Vitek <vitek@zoner.com>]

Hello!

I am currently running a heavy loaded mysql server on Slackware 8.1 (over 700 
databases), and I'm planning to switch to Debian stable and backport mysql 
from testing. 
In manual mysql authors recommend to compile mysql against patched libpthread 
(http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Linux.html). Is this necessary on Debian too?
Or it is better to use their binary package?

Thanks,
