That all sounds find to me.  I don't see any reason to change it unless someone in Fedora complains about it... in which case it would probably be to 'Require: /usr/bin/mysqldump' rather than 'mysql'... but as for now I see no reason to change anything, I just wanted to hear your take on it.

Thanks Andy.

It is not uncommon practice to use binary distributions - this is recommended by a non-trivial subset of MySQL consultants (just see planet.mysql).  holland fails gracefully if mysqlddump cannot be found and explicitly provides configuration mechanisms to locate this outside of /usr/bin/mysqldump to support a variety of deployment strategies. If that's all unconvincing (which I suspect it may be), I also offer MySQL-zrm as a similar fedora package that lacks explicit (or implicit) mysql requires.
