RHEA-2010:0310 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated apr-util packages that add support for MySQL are now available.

Description

apr-util is a utility library used with the Apache Portable Runtime (APR).
It aims to provide a free library of C data structures and routines. This
library contains additional utility interfaces for APR; including support
for XML, LDAP, database interfaces, URI parsing, and more.

In previous releases, the APR utility library DBD (database abstraction)
interface did not include support for MySQL databases. This update adds the
MySQL driver to the DBD interface.(BZ#252073, BZ#491342)

All users requiring MySQL support should install these newly released
packages, which add this enhancement.
