[debian-mysql] compiling mysql 5.0 in wheezy, with different path...

[Marco Gaiarin]

Sorry for asking you this strange question.
Please, i perfectly know security implications of using a so old and so
unsupported mysql version, but, really, i've no alternatives....

I need (clearly, for a closed-source application) mysql 5.0 in modern
debian; as a first try, i've recompiled the lenny version 5.0.51a and
package built and works. Cool.

But in some server i need mysql for some ''modern'' application, and
clearly i prefer not to use that old version.
Also, i need mysql 5.0 on some server, so i prefer to have a .deb.


There's some ''easy'' way to repackage mysql 5.0 so they use diffent
binary names (eg, with suffix '-5.0') and different folder dir?
(clearly, when run, a different TCP port, but this is the easy part ;)
Or it is needed to ''review'' all the packaging by hand anyway?

Someone have just done that work?


Thanks.
