New news item for MySQL-like servers |

|
| 10 |
This forewarns sysadmins to take action on local machines as dependencies |
| 11 |
change in packages away from automatic server installations. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Most packages are going to only install the libraries by default. |

+Title: MySQL server and library dependency shift |

| 33 |
+Due to the complexity of supporting multiple client libraries, |
| 34 |
+the Gentoo MySQL maintainers have decided to drop dependencies on the |
| 35 |
+server installation where it is not absolutely necessary. |
| 36 |
+ |
| 37 |
+This will mean that packages might not automatically install the server |
| 38 |
+as a dependency since it does not have to exist on the local machine. |
| 39 |
+ |
| 40 |
+To ensure uninterrupted service, verify that the server package, |
| 41 |
+such as dev-db/mariadb, dev-db/mysql, etc, is included in the world file |
| 42 |
+where it is in operation. This can be accomplished by running emerge |
| 43 |
+with the --noreplace option. |
| 44 |
+Eg.: emerge --noreplace dev-db/mariadb |
