Hi,

it would be nice to rename the mysql* packages.

Right now we have:
 mysql-* == 4.0.x
 mysql4-*  == 4.1.x

and I always get it wrong while I think that mysql4-* is 4.0.x

From mysql.com:

 MySQL 4.1, the latest certified production-ready release includes numerous
 enhancements that improve performance, internationalization, and the
 ability to embed the MySQL Server with other hardware and software solutions.

IMHO it would be better to rename mysql-* to mysql40-*
which leaves what we do with mysql4-*:
- keep its name
- rename it to mysql-*
- rename it to mysql41-*

I would vote for the second option or maybe the third one.

Bernd
