MySQL 5.1 was uploaded to Debian unstable, and until we get it into testing, I am providing semi-official up-to-date backports of MySQL 5.1.36 and 5.0.84 for i386 and amd64 in my home directory on people.debian.org. I am providing MySQL 5.0.84 for Debian 4.0 and 5.0, and MySQL 5.1.36 for Debian 5.0. If you need MySQL 5.1.36 for Debian 4.0 as well, please let me know.
MySQL 5.0.84 for Debian 4.0:
Beware that the MySQL 5.1 packages do not include MySQL Cluster support, it was dropped from MySQL 5.1 a while ago, and is now available as a separate product. Unfortunately MySQL Cluster is not yet available in Debian, packaging it is one of the big items on my TODO list.
MySQL 5.0.84 for Debian 4.0:
deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/mysql-dfsg-5.0/ etch-backports main
MySQL 5.0.84 for Debian 5.0:deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/mysql-dfsg-5.0/ lenny-backports main
MySQL 5.1.36 for Debian 5.0:deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/mysql-dfsg-5.1/ lenny-backports main
When MySQL 5.1.36 (or newer) made it into testing, I am going to move the MySQL 5.1 backport to backports.org, where it belongs. MySQL 5.0 will then completely disappear from the development branches of Debian.Beware that the MySQL 5.1 packages do not include MySQL Cluster support, it was dropped from MySQL 5.1 a while ago, and is now available as a separate product.
