i've created an etch pbuilder chroot and produced some debs: http://people.debian.org/~seanius/mysql/etch/ i haven't verified anything about these other than the fact that they built sucessfully, so a once-over would be appreciated. after i've heard back from the first brave soul to test them out that there are no problems, i'll go ahead and send them to tpu if there are no objections. as steve suggested, i've given them a 5.0.16-0+etch1 version so they will immediately upgrade to the versions currently in sid. they are based off of what's in svn as 5.0.16-2 but not yet released (which is just the initial upstream release + a documentation fix). christian: i'll follow up privately when you get back to decide how this should be represented in svn. sean --
