of course, they thought it is the same ABI but something went wrong
upstream and it was not really

we are using 5.5 on F13 and F14 based on a SPEC from remi
who cooked something the the so was 116 and provided
a compat-mysql51 for fedora-packages

in our case i hadto rebuild only dovecot, dbmail and postfix
since we build php with mysqlnd which is independent

even if we use it for fedora >= 13 this would not be a good solution
because some packages need only a simple rebuild and MYsQL 5.5
brings some hughe improvemnets

possible (see above) but not a clean solution

this is no solution because all depending packages should be recompiled
and so there is no difference to go straight ahead with 5.5.10, see below
we are since friday in prdoction with 5.5.10 on Fedora 13

root at buildserver:~]$ uname -rv
