[ensembl-dev] Local installation

[Neil Walker]

Picking up on this late, and slightly off topic:

We took the decision (on 5 Jan 2001!) to use MySQL as our database when 
Ensembl's attempt to port their system to Oracle was plainly going nowhere.

Now MySQL is owned by Oracle. The version of MySQL available in Ubuntu's 
Canonical release 10.04 (5.1) is falling behind the current Generally 
Available release (5.5.9).  It is the latter which Oracle make available 
and would prefer to support - and that at a much increased price.

How do you see this playing out?  Are you sticking with MySQL?  And how 
supported?

Cheers
Neil

We're packaging Ensembl for the latter, but this effort is not quite complete. Having said that, other than BioPerl and Bio::DAS::Lite, I'm not aware of current Perl module issues. What exactly are your symptoms?
