This because there are issues, with a stright upgrade. Take a look at |
| 7 |
these upstream docs. |

The procedure to upgrade should be very similar to the one described by |
| 15 |
our docs for 4.0 -> 4.1 |

Depend on how much time and effort you want to destiny to this, at the |
| 25 |
moment will not very much supported and the efforts are still 97% on |
| 26 |
4.1 series that we have stabilized from few days. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Timings ? An upstream developer in his blog mentioned that MySQL will be |
| 29 |
considered "Generally Avaiable" that mean "stable" on november. |
| 30 |
Minimum for stable in Gentoo tree is one month, but I don't think it |
| 31 |
will be so soon (2 or 3 months is more doable). |

Rebuild all the packages that use libmysql and reload the data. |

It's doable, it's unsupported, upgrading a database is rarely a easy |
| 47 |
joke, only a full reading of the previous links could give you an |
| 48 |
answer. |
