Last job, where I was using Percona, was CentOS based. I think we
initially were using 5.1, but we moved to 5.2. Definitely doing lots with
PHP as well.

We got our packages from the Percona repo.

Use the configs from the RPM source packages and build RPMs, then you get
to keep package management stuff.

Red Hat has some tools for automating rebuilding RPMs. Presuming you can
get source packages from Percona you might be able to grab them, flip the
SPHINX switch and build packages.
