Hrm. Does this really need an ebuild? Wouldn't it be better to use the |
| 11 |
associated portage-provided packages? Also, how do you intend to handle |
| 12 |
security updates? |

| Yeah, I know. But how else do you answer the question "Hey, Portage, |
| 19 |
| where did you really install that my.cnf file?" |

| Obviously the system admin is free to move the my.cnf file or even |
| 22 |
| use a different file/path altogether. But at least it would give me |
| 23 |
| a starting value to use at compile time... |

I'm starting to think you really shouldn't be ebuilding this lot at |
| 26 |
all... |
