After some testing on MySQL ebuild for version 4.1.x and 5.0.x appear to |
| 2 |
me that is very difficult have a stable version of those databases with |
| 3 |
current glibc, gcc and maybe os-headers stable defaults (at least on x86 |
| 4 |
and amd64). |

Adding a dev-db/mysql-bin package seems the only short-term viable |
| 7 |
solution to have those versions of mysql in portage tree. Leaving out |
| 8 |
all the problems that dependant packages have after mysql 4.1.3 release. |

I'm going to writing an ebuild that (maybe using alternatives.eclass) |
| 11 |
unpack the binary distribuited version of mysql in /opt/ dir and symlink |
| 12 |
all the programs to paths currently used from the source dist. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
any input on how to write it in a way that permit it to be included in |
| 15 |
the portage tree very apreciated, expecially that from Robin H. Johnson |
