While downloading this a I got a number of virus warnings from McAfee. I aborted the download.
Anyone else experienced this?
I emailed MySQL but didn't hear back.
Kevin:
Were you downloading a Windows or some other binary? If it was Windows, I would be concerned - the build machine could have gotten infected. The unfortunate thing is that MySQL build team could very easily miss it because so many Windows machines out there are already infected anyway that spreading a virus through the Windows binary would probably not make things that much worse.
If it was some other binary, this is fairly common - by an odd coincidence tar.gz of MySQL binary contains byte strings similar to some viruses known to McAfee. There is no reasonable way a non-Windows tar.gz could infect a Windows machine. A theoretical possibility, of course, exists, but the Earth being hit by a large asteroid by tonight is more likely.
