MySQL4 itself works fine, we are all aware of that. However after it is |
| 7 |
installed, many things need to be recompiled as you are aware. Portage |
| 8 |
needs reverse dependancy support for this to become a reality having |
| 9 |
people run 'revdep-rebuild' is not the solution (and even that fails in |
| 10 |
some cases already). |

I do know that more things than MySQL4 are waiting for |
| 13 |
reverse-dependancies. OpenSSL 0.9.7 is one of them (it requires a MUCH |
| 14 |
larger rebuild than MySQL does). |

Carpaski would a better person to ask of the current status of |
| 17 |
reverse-dependancies in portage than myself. |
