If we were just talking about a single mysql 4.1 server sure, the gentoo |
| 16 |
ebuilds have been great. I haven't had any problem with it and the mysql |
| 17 |
ebuild writers have been very good. |

Unfortunately, my clients would like to use mysql 5 (which will released from |
| 20 |
beta to production in June/July according to the conference), clusters (which |
| 21 |
can get complicated), best possible performance, and commercial support. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
That seems to point towards getting a stable profile, icc, and binaries at the moment. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
As far as the stable branch, I've heard alot of devs really like the idea - and several |
| 26 |
want to contribute to it, but there just wasnt enough momentum and there were |
| 27 |
technical issues involved (such as keeping copies of distfiles around for long |
| 28 |
periods). |
