Is there a bug on it for the KDE folks? Should I open one? |

|
21 |
I /am/ going to post a message to the kde lists (where I'm a regular) |
22 |
asking about mysql upgrades there. We'll see what they say. |

I'd think KDE would have mysql upgrade methods documented, if they're |
40 |
going to be using the software. But there's a lot of stuff I'd have |
41 |
thought, before the kde4 upgrade mess, that I'm considerably more cynical |
42 |
about now... <shrug> |
