MySQL archive engine disabled in FC5 binary

[njsharp]

In the binary MySQL server (5.0.18) distributed with FC5 final release, have_archive=NO, that is, the ENGINE=ARCHIVE option is not available. I understand that to turn it on requires setting a compile time option. A user raised this with the archive forum at mysql on 14Oct2005 (version 5.0.13) and was advised this would be fixed "in the next version":

Seems it was not. (:-(( I have re-raised it on that forum:
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?112...0365#msg-80365
but think it might be helpful to raise it here, FYI and also as I assume fixing this might be a task for FC folk as well as MySQL folk.

Regards

Filing a RFE in http://bugzilla.redhat.com is better than posting here since it reaches the MySQL maintainer in Fedora directly. Thanks.
