Check the comments on the linked story, or other better sources of information. The story appears to stem from a miscommunication. The real message seems to be "we haven't built official binaries of the new version for the Debian platform yet, but we're working on it. Meanwhile here's a tarball," as opposed to "we don't support that anymore." |

TPuffin... A tarball? You call that support? Who wants black sticky stuff all over your server? |

Well, I'm sure that there will eventually be an actual Debian deb, If not, I can see a lot of people switching to postgres... |

>If not, I can see a lot of people switching to postgres... They should be doing that anyway. Not quite as fast as MySQL in certain applications...but not far behind. But... More complete, more free, and solid as a rock. |

I want tar for my databases, so the data will stick firmly and not fall out. |

tarballs are awesome, especially when they leave behind the sticky bits. Yes , it *is* too close to the end of the day to be productive. Dave |

My excuse is I still have the flu, and have been enjoying weird fever dreams and Netflix movies. Not sure which is which, but does it matter? Amazing how quickly misinformation spreads in this here modern world, all the way up to "It's a Microsoft conspiracy." |

You mean there's something that _isn't_ a Microsoft conspiracy? |
