Da provides an unsecure 4.0.17 version, so this needs to be updated to stay on the safer side.

The problem is that everybody I talked too found it "nightmarish" to upgrade mysql on FreeBSD 5.x

It comes from the fact that mysql.org does not provide ready-made packages.

Does anybody have a resource site with the latest packages?
 
Recently we did this for a client. It is actually pretty easy once we figured it out. doing it from source. You just have to compile it from source make sure its using /usr/local/mysql and /user/local/mysql/data is symlinked to /home/mysql. Also save the rc script as you will need it.


EDIT: heh you were the client.
