Due to the complexity of supporting multiple client libraries, |
| 9 |
the Gentoo MySQL maintainers have decided to drop dependencies on the |
| 10 |
server installation where it is not absolutely necessary. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This will mean that packages might not automatically install the |
| 13 |
server as a dependency since it does not have to exist on the local machine. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
To ensure uninterrupted service, verify that the server package, |
| 16 |
such as dev-db/mariadb, dev-db/mysql, etc, is included in the world file |
| 17 |
where it is in operation. This can be accomplished by running emerge |
| 18 |
with the --noreplace option. |
| 19 |
Eg.: emerge --noreplace dev-db/mariadb |
