HI All



Maybe you can assist.



We are looking at upgrading a clients' MySQL 5.0 to version
5.1.



They are running the following version: mysql Ver 14.12
Distrib 5.0.72sp1, for unknown-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1





We would like to do a test run on this first to ensure we do
not encounter any unknown issues, but I cannot seem to find a link to
download this version from.



Does anybody know where we can get hold of this version (I
think we will have to get hold of version 5.0.72 and also sp1 then apply
that.)



Help will be appreciated.



Regards

Machiel

Good.

Which means they are a paying customer, using a "quarterly service pa=
ck"
(aka "QSP") as you can tell from the "sp1" suffix.

No, there is no such link for public download:

1) The 5.0 release family is at 5.0.90 now, so older versions have be=
en
removed from the download pages (to save space on the mirror serve=
rs
which help us provide the binaries to the worldwide community).
Your only chance for old versions is to use the "archives" link on
the download page:
http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php?p=3Dmysql-5.0

2) Even if you do that, you will find 5.0.75 only but not 5.0.72sp1,
because ...

5.0.72sp1 is what we call a "QSP", because it happens once per quarte=
r.
These QSPs are not available for (free of cost) community downloads,
they are part of the services which paying customers receive:
Less frequent needs to update but still the guarantee of getting the
up-to-date fixes for security issues, should there be any.

In this case, it is somewhat more complicated because back then the
builds for community and for paying customer were done with different
frequency.
The closest equivalents to 5.0.72sp1 which you can freely download (f=
rom
the archive) as binaries are 5.0.67 and 5.0.77, the in-between 5.0.75
was published as source only.
