Hi all,
Ok, I confirm, I was jealous about Allan: after the “he broke it!” everyone know him. I wanted to be more popular, and maybe with my last crap I did.
I changed configuration, pid and sock file path in MySQL; I was pretty sure that change didn’t broke anything except php, but…I failed.
Yesterday I lost the whole day trying to fix this and in the night I found the solution: the problem was mysql set sock file path to /tmp/mysql.sock by default, I need to pass the option in configure. Don’t ask me why, but I thought that move sock file in a new location was a minor change and setting the new path into my.cnf was enough.
mysql 5.1.41-2 is already in [extra] and will fix everything (qt applications, mysql-python, etc…).
At least, with this “little story”, I’ll remember to put every package in [testing] first!
Happy update :)

I don’t know in your university, but in mine I still cannot use version control system cause we have an HTTP proxy and only HTTP traffic is allowed.
I want my system to be ever up-to-date and sometime this means to use development software. Today, for example, I wanted to build KDE from SVN.
Usually set http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port into ~/.subversion/server was enough, but today with this method I got a nice “Permission denied“.
The alternative method is to setup an SVN tunneling through the proxy:
First, you need perl-libwww from [extra] repository and perl-net-proxy from AUR.
Open a terminal and launch:
$ connect-tunnel -P proxyhost:proxyport -T 10234:svnhost:svnport
Now, keep connect-tunnel running and checkout svn in this way:
$ svn co svn://localhost:10234/svntrunk
All should works. Good luck!
