FWIW, there's a lot of folks running mysql now that weren't before, due to |
25 |
the kde 4 thing. I'm one of them, so this is of personal interest. |
26 |

From your reply to Dawid W, it appears that database upgrades will need to |
28 |
be done as well. Please specifically mention that, perhaps by changing |
29 |
the reference to the official upgrade docs as so: |
30 |
|
31 |
""" |
32 |
|
33 |
Note that existing databases will need converted as well, |
34 |
again including those upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1. |
35 |
Details can be found in the official upgrade docs at: |
36 |
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/upgrade.html |
37 |
|
38 |
""" |
39 |
|
40 |
If you wish to put the unofficial upgrade recommendation in too, that |
41 |
would be fine. |
42 |
|
43 |
Hopefully that'll cover us users that don't particularly care about |
44 |
databases, we just want our kde to work... and it'll continue to do so. |
45 |
=:^) (IOW, are there any particularly different procedures for upgrading |
46 |
databases in user's $HOME dirs? Perhaps a note for kde users telling them |
47 |
where their databases are located so they /can/ back them up, etc.) |
48 |

Thanks! |
