MySQL 5.0.67 will not be uploaded to Debian Lenny
The latest MySQL Community Edition release, 5.0.67 will not be included in Debian Lenny as the distribution is frozen meaning no upstream new releases are going to be included into testing before lenny is released. Lenny will ship with MySQL 5.0.51a, while 5.0.67 (or a newer version if that will be the case) will be added to debian testing right after the release.
In the meantime, if you want to use 5.0.67 you can either download the source packages from MySQL or use the packages Norbert Tretkowski (one of the mysql package maintainers) has made available. The deb sources allow you to recompile the package on any architecture you might need it (only amd64 binary packages are provided).

Any ideas on when 5.1 final goes out? It’s been a quite long time

Lalala: soon (in september) it will be ONE year since the first mysql release candidate for 5.1. I would say this is huge, and was expecting to see the stable version released in a couple of months like previous mysql releases. But still… maybe the sun acquisition got in the way somehow, I don’t know what to say.
Honestly I am also looking forward for the stable release 5.1 for a couple of projects, but I also know people (big sites) that use the 5.1rc in production because they needed the new features and couldn’t wait more for the release.
I guess time (or some insider from mysql) will tell better, but I assume this will happen quite soon now and the final release is imminent.
