1 The MySQL team has two virtuals now for 7 months, virtual/mysql and
2 virtual/libmysqlclient.
3
4 From now on, virtual/mysql is to be used for a local server install,
5 including embedded servers (libmysqld.so). virtual/mysql-5.6-r8 begins
6 to enforce this.
7
8 virtual/libmysqlclient is for linking to the client libraries and will
9 track the library changes in a subslot. Use this when you only need to
10 link to libmysqlclient.so and don't necessarily need the server install
11 to be local.
12
13 Please adjust any packages as you see fit while doing maintenance.
