All of the files that are part of this release bundle are not patches, but complete code files. Follow these instructions to create your own patch bundle using the 'old' Drupal 5.x code and replacing it with the enhanced code fixes that will allow a MySQL database master/slave replication environment handle split read/write capabilities under Drupal 5.x.
Required Environment:
- Drupal 5.x (Version 5.10 and above have better performance results)
- Existing MySQL 5.x master/slave replication environment
Sorry... this patch bundle only works under UNIX/Linux platforms.
