That is basically correct.

OpenPKG has become proprietary, so for us upgrading is not an option. You can 
of course do it is you like.

If I were you I'd to the following:
$ /kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -i mysql-5.1.58-20111004.src.rpm

Then edit /kolab/RPM/SRC/mysql/mysql.spec and change the Requires: for openpkg 
there.

To build the packages
- download all binary packages and put them into a folder
- put the srpms of mysql, php and apache-php into that folder
- remove the binaries of apache-php and php
- run "install-kolab.sh -X" to generate a new index
- run install-kolab.sh to build and install the packages.

Basically you just need the php-mysql extension and can use the mysql of your 
distribution as long as mysql client and server communicate through over 
TCP/IP rather than over a socket. This means you need to specify the database 
server as "127.0.0.1" rather than "localhost".
