[gentoo-dev] New mysql eclasses review

[Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto]

Hi.

While working to support the new cmake based mysql releases, the mysql
team opted to create new eclasses, so that we could clean up some old
code from the existing eclass and to get leaner and cleaner eclasses.
As we keep working in the overlay[1] to complete the code for the
mysql-5.5 series, we would like to get a review of the current status of
the eclasses, so that we may get the ebuilds for the latest versions of
mysql and mariadb in the tree soon.
The mysql team now uses 3 eclasses: mysql-v2.eclass[2] (base eclass),
mysql-autotools.eclass[3] (for autotools based releases) and
mysql-cmake.eclass[4] (for cmake based releases). The first 2 eclasses
are complete, pending any updates from the review. The mysql-cmake
eclass is still under development, but can also benefit from a review.

I'm attaching the 3 eclasses to this email as well for those that prefer
to read them inline and don't want to check the gitweb interface of the
overlay.
Please let us know of any issues or suggestions for improving / fixing
the eclasses.
