Yeah, I've been reading that thread and considering using the ebuild. My head starts to |
| 6 |
spin a bit though, with all the intersecting "here's a patch for this" and "make sure you |
| 7 |
read that", etc. |

(Robin? You around?) If it'll happen in the next week or two I'll wait. If no one has any |

idea when it'll happen, I guess I'll do it this weekend. |

This is nice but I'm fine with 4.1... for which I should use Francesco's overlay and for |
| 26 |
which these instructions won't work at all, correct? He has some instructions on his site |
| 27 |
that seem pretty straightforward. |

Looking at that bug, however, it looks like there's a patch for libwww that fixes that |
| 34 |
problem. Should I use the patch or compile libwww without "mysql" use flag? I use |
| 35 |
vpopmail, which uses libmysqlclient... doesn't that have something to do with libwww? |
