So the question is : do we want to define a minimum for running Koha ? (knowing that, for example, mandriva default mySQL is 4.0 If we use a too recent version of Koha, then it will be harder to install)
I think 4.0 is a minimum for sure. For example, 3.23 doesn't include query_cache so everything runs _very_ slowly. I've not tried out 4.1 but I'm not against it as a minimum. Since MySQL AB releases official RPMs for all version of MySQL, it's not too hard to install a newer version on RPM-based systems. Deb based systems have easy access to version 4.0.18 last time I checked, but no good way to get 4.1 -- but with 'alien' or some other method there might be an easy way to install 4.1.
My two cents,
FYI debian has 4.1 available in "testing". The default mysql-server currently is 4.0.24 for "testing" ("stable" is 3.23.49). http://packages.debian.org/testing/misc/mysql-server-4.1 gvb
