[maemo-developers] MySQL and N800

[From: Demetris]

Hi all,

    most likely I will use what Tony has ported for the N800. However, 
poking around
the maemo repos I saw a few links to mysql server and client packages 
(.deb ). Does
anyone know what these are and who the authors are? I tried installing 
them on a
5.2008 N800 but they do not install correctly:

Thanks
