I've got a production site running smoothy on Mercury 5.0, using the Jaunty AMI. I'm needing to upgrade my MySQL to 5.1 (currently 5.0.x).
What's my best course of action given the Mercury framework.
Thanks,
Mike

re: Upgrading mysql to 5.1
We don't yet have a mechanism for a person to make changes to their package config in bcfg2 and still receive updates, however you have the following options:
1) upgrade Mysql from 5.0 to 5.1 using your favorite package manager. However, you wouldn't want to run bcfg2- vq afterwards as it would re-install Mysql 5.0.
2) change Mysql 5.0 to 5.1 in your /var/lib/bcfg2/Bundler/mysql file and run bcfg2. You wouldn't want to run /usr/local/bin/update_mercury.sh afterwards as this would overwrite your Bundler files.
3) Wait until we release 1.1 as it has Mysql 5.1.
Hope this helps,
Greg
