CentOS - Jul 2010 - Want MySQL source rpms pertinent to CentOS 5.4; what packages should I request via yum?

Hi;

I want MySQL source rpms pertinent to CentOS 5.4; what packages should I
request via yum?

I first went to mysql.org but I could not find (perhaps I am blind) any
MySQL source tarballs or rpms, only binary rpms.

I would like to compile MySQL from source.

BTW, what happened to centos.org?  When using Firefox or Chrome it looks
like it is text-only as if I were visiting it with lynx!

Thanks in advance for pointers/advice towards answering a very lame
question.

It looks like the CentOS web site looks like it used to look now; I wonder
what happened?

I believe if your yum is appropiatly configured centos 5.4 you could
install yum-utils and do something like the following or similar:

#$ yumdownloader --source mysql-server
#$ rpm -ivhp just-downloaded-rpm

Or you could also browse http://mirror.centos.org/ for the source rpm

But if you insist and dont want the source for the very mysql provided
by centos 5.4 you could browse mysql.com (or org maybe):

http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql
not too far from the top is a drop down box - select "source code" and
that will lead to sources.
