Description:
The MySQL server binary included in the 5.1.7 RPM packages mentions the wrong compilation comment:

lenz@localhost:(none) > show variables like '%comment%';
+-----------------+------------------------------------------+
| Variable_name   | Value                                    |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------+
| version_comment | MySQL Community Edition - Standard (GPL) |
+-----------------+------------------------------------------+

For MySQL 5.1, this should have been changed to "MySQL Community Server (GPL)" (as it was done for the tarballs already.

How to repeat:
Check the version_comment of a 5.1.7 RPM binary

Suggested fix:
Update the RPM spec file and change the comment accordingly.
