Documentation in RPM Format

If you're using RPM files to install the MySQL server, clients, and
other components, we have good news for you: The MySQL Reference Manual
is available in RPM format now!

We've packaged HTML (one page per chapter) and PDF (US Letter and A4)
into separate RPM files. In other words, for each version of the
MySQL Manual (4.1, 5.0, and 5.1) there are two RPM files, like this:

- mysql-refman-5.0-en-html-chapter-1-20061109.noarch.rpm
- mysql-refman-5.0-en-pdf-1-20061109.noarch.rpm

You can find all available RPM files here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/#manual

Installation is as simple and straightforward as with any other RPM:

shell> rpm -i mysql-refman-5.0-en-html-chapter-1-20061109.noarch.rpm

The MySQL Manual is frequently being updated, and once per day we create
new RPM files. Updating your MySQL documentation is as easy as this now:

shell> rpm -U mysql-refman-5.0-en-html-chapter-1-20061110.noarch.rpm

We hope this will make life easier for many of our users!
