Re: MySQL 3.22 --> 3.23 on Potato
hello,
you have lots of options there! i don't want to be the one to advise you
on which method to use... but i will mention the beauty of apt-get -s.
the -s option tells apt-get to "simulate" and it won't take any action.
this is nice 'cause you can see, before it's too late, exactly what
would be installed and/or removed by using apt-get to install/remove
something.
so, if you decide to grab the mysql package from woody... then, you
would edit your /etc/apt/sources.list replacing "stable" (or potato)
with "testing" (or woody), and commenting out the security line (since
security updates are handled differently in "testing"). after the edit,
apt-get update then apt-get -s install mysql .... it should tell you any
packages that will be upgraded. if you feel courageous, you could
apt-get install mysql... and, provided there is a newer version, it'll
upgrade that one package.
then, don't forget, edit your sources.list back to stable and apt-get
update.
again, this is only one of many options!
