Today I noticed that custombuild does not upgrade my MySQL-server RPM on my Centos 5.8 server. So now I am stuck with an old server RPM that I need to update to the latest version. What would be the safest way to do this?

This is what I did today:

./build update
./build versions
./build mysql

After that I tried to remove the file and do a build again:
rm /var/lib/mysql/RPM_UPGRADE_MARKER
./build mysql

That did not fix my problem. I'm now stuck with these RPM's:

rpm -qa | grep MySQL
MySQL-devel-5.5.25a-1.linux2.6
MySQL-client-5.5.25a-1.linux2.6
MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.linux2.6
MySQL-shared-5.5.25a-1.linux2.6
​

How can I safely upgrade to MySQL-server-5.5.25a-1.linux2.6 ?

thanks!

Hello,

1. Create a mysql backup (you won't need it most cases, but for sake of security you'd better have it)
2. delete MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.linux2.6 with rpm/yum
3. ./build mysql

I did several times on CentOS and had no unresolvable issues.
 
Thanks zEitEr,

I upgraded the mysql server on my Centos 5 box by removing and installing the RPM manualy.

1) made a backup:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build mysql

2) removed the old rpm:
rpm -e MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.linux2.6

3) Running custombuild did not work, I had to install the rpm my self:
rpm -Uvh mysql/MySQL-server-5.5.25a-1.linux2.6.x86_64.rpm

4) run custombuild:
./build mysql
./build php n
