7 Oops, sorry, thought you were asking about where to find the USE flag.
8 I was reading out-of-order...and not thinking right.

14 Assuming you really need a specific version of mysql, and do not want
15 to merge a version that already has the doc USE flag, the general idea
16 is that you will want to:
17
18 1. Copy /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory,
19 being sure to keep the directory structure intact.
20 2. Edit PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-db/mysql/mysql-<version>.ebuild. Modify
21 the configure steps as you want.
22 3. Run ebuild mysql-<version>.ebuild digest
23 4. Merge mysql as normal.
24
25 You can probably do some cleanup of the files in PORTDIR_OVERLAY to
26 remove everything not related to the version of mysql that you want.
