Yup, /me bad. The usual way for a package using a language binding is to |
| 21 |
depend on that bindig (dev-perl/DBD-mysql-VVV). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
All my worries were for the case when the latest stable dev-perl/DBD-mysql |
| 24 |
is compiled against the latest SLOTed mysql-5.1.x and is being used to |
| 25 |
access data on an old (SLOTed or not; localhost or some remote host) server. |
| 26 |
But I guess then the problem will be entirely in dev-perl/DBD-mysql being |
| 27 |
unable to connect to older servers :-) |

At this moment I should say "Sorry for the wasted bandwidth/time" :-| |
