ibiblio services/changes announcement list

[Don Sizemore <dls AT metalab.unc.edu>]

  Hi ibiblio-announce,

  On last Friday, Ken sent out the following announcement:

  "There are a few minor differences between MySQL 4.0 and 4.1 but they 
should be transparent to you.  While any upgrade carries with it the 
danger of spoiling working code, upgrades must take place for bug and 
security fixes.  We will work with everyone on a case by case basis to fix 
any problems you may have after the upgrade."

  After some discussion in the office, we have decided to postpone this 
upgrade until after the Thanksgiving holiday.  As several of our student 
workers are leaving town and we will be running with a skeleton crew for 
much of the break, we would rather not risk the myriad problems that could 
result from such an upgrade, some of them small, and some not so small:

  Upon everyone's return on Monday, we will send out another note 
regarding the status of mysql2.ibiblio.org.  We appreciate your patience, 
and apologize for the trouble.

  thank you,                                    919.962.5646 w
