If we were just talking about a single mysql 4.1 server sure, the gentoo |
16 |
ebuilds have been great. I haven't had any problem with it and the mysql |
17 |
ebuild writers have been very good. |

Unfortunately, my clients would like to use mysql 5 (which will released from |
20 |
beta to production in June/July according to the conference), clusters (which |
21 |
can get complicated), best possible performance, and commercial support. |
22 |
|

That seems to point towards getting a stable profile, icc, and binaries at the moment. |
24 |
|
25 |
As far as the stable branch, I've heard alot of devs really like the idea - and several |
26 |
want to contribute to it, but there just wasnt enough momentum and there were |
27 |
technical issues involved (such as keeping copies of distfiles around for long |
28 |
periods). |
