If both "app-db/mysql-commercial" and "app-db/mysql" are in portage the |
| 14 |
packages may depend over a "virtual/mysql" . Virtuals are used in gentoo |
| 15 |
tree for packages that both provide the same functionality. |

Users to get a package in the tree need to open a bug and attach the an |
| 23 |
ebuild, then a developer could take care of the bug and insert it into |
| 24 |
the tree. However that developer will probably need a copy of a |
| 25 |
commercial MySQL to test and work on. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As an alternative you could try to become a developer and take care |
| 28 |
yourself of the package. |
