[maemo-developers] MySQL and N800

[From: Demetris]

So judging from what Jeremiah is saying below, the mysql binaries in 
these repository are functional?
Some of them have dates from 2010 so they are very recent so I am 
assuming these are active ports.
Unlike Bjoern, when I am able to install the common libraries but when I 
try to install the server it
fails (on the N800) giving errors on files it cannot find. Any ideas? 
Bjoern can you share how you
install the debian bins in your case?

thanks
