Description:
For MySQL Cluster 6.2 there is no shared-compat RPM available. However the MySQL-Cluster-shared RPM cannot coexist with any other MySQL-*-shared (or MySQL-*-shared-compat) RPM because of a conflict for libmysqlclient.so.

Installing MySQL Cluster 6.2 effectively renders all client applications useless that depend on libmysqlclient.so.15 (aka MySQL 5.0) or older.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
provide MySQL-cluster-*-shared-compat-*.rpm, containing older versions of libmysqlclient.so

Assigning to Joerg, only because he's recently done some work on shared-compat RPMs :)

Working on this.

The patch was approved by Jonathan via IRC.

The patch is now pushed to the build tools and can be used in any build started from now on.
I have built "shared-compat" RPMs to be published with Cluster-7.1.9, and most likely they will also be built with Cluster-6.3.39.

Changed category to Cluster so this will appear in my work queue instead of Paul's. Will revert it to Packaging once I've documented.

Documented bugfix in the NDB-6.3.39, 7.0.20, and 7.1.9 changelogs, as follows:

        MySQL Cluster RPM distributions did not include a shared-compat
        RPM for the MySQL Server, which meant that MySQL applications
        depending on libmysqlclient.so.15 (MySQL 5.0 and earlier) no
        longer worked.

Closed.

Changed category back to Server:Packinging per my earlier comment.
