I'd say it should be mutually exclusive of the source-built version |
| 19 |
(DEPEND=!dev-db/mysql). See about putting it's bindir into the PATH |
| 20 |
instead of messing around with symlinks. However I think it should use |
| 21 |
the same /var/lib/mysql for it's data directory. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
By default it should provide the stock binaries, if USE=max, then |
| 24 |
provide the mysql-max binaries, and if USE=debug, instead provide the |
| 25 |
debugging binaries. |
