Thanks, that's good to know, though I'm not sure what project are we=20
talking about. I was (mistakenly) referring to=20
http://www.nongnu.org/nss-mysql/ which I'm not sure how is related to=20
http://libnss-mysql.sourceforge.net/ which is the project I was looking=20
for, which had a release last september.

I personally don't believe in the "its stable so I didn't have to change=20
anything in the last 3 years" approach - software rot, and especially=20
software that depends on connectivity with other software that=20
advances.

Some auto-tools bootstrapping issue, which is probably just bad blood=20
between the source RPM I downloaded which was for PLD and Mandriva's=20
RPM conventions. I don't care anymore really, because that was a=20
mistake - I really wanted libnss-mysql.

Thanks.
