Install mono repository for fedora 5

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://www.go-mono.com/download-stab...i386/mono.repo

The above link is broken - instead, try the RHEL5 instructions at Installing Deki Wiki package on RedHat EL 5 / Fedora 8 / CentOS 5 - which are

Create the file "/etc/yum.repos.d/mono.repo" with the following content :

[Mono]
name=Mono Stack (RHEL_5)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono/RHEL_5/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Mono/RHEL_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

Install mono

yum install mono-complete

Install mysql 5.0.48

As of  23/10/2007 CentOS 5 mysql is < than 5.0.43 and therefore has a bug (please see this thread in the forums)

As suggested by howlym add a new file utterramblings.repo in /etc/yum.repos/

Put below content to this new file:
***********************************
[utterramblings]
name=Jason's Utter Ramblings Repo
baseurl=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/EL$r...ver/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka
**********************************

You will also need to import the RPM GPG Key:

**********************************

 rpm --import http://www.jasonlitka.com/media/RPM-GPG-KEY-jlitka

**********************************

This will let you upgrade/install your mysql to 5.0.48+ (5.0.54 as-of 2008-01-18)
