Several people have filed bugs on it with Ubuntu on Launchpad. What I suspect happened (unconfirmed!) is that Canonical was contemplating putting 5.1 into Jaunty, had it in a beta but went back ... http://ourdelta.org/update-for-ourdelta-904-jaunty-builds OurDelta builds of MySQL 5.0.77-d8 for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) builds are done, thanks to some smart and fast work by Peter.

It's a ... http://ourdelta.org/ourdelta-at-linuxconfau While hard at work, it's important to be visible so people don't wonder if there's anything happening... the open source development model is extremely good for this, things are just public all the time.
