emerge mysql does not do ebuild .... config. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
the config step only needs to be carried out the very first time mysql |
| 11 |
is emerged. Thats why the instructions that appear at the end of the |
| 12 |
emerge say: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
"You might want to run: |
| 15 |
"ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-db/mysql-4.0.24-r1/mysql-4.0.24-r1.ebuild config" |
| 16 |
IF THIS IS A NEW INSTALL." (my emphasis added) |

Yes it might be wise to add in something about adding the mysql USE |
| 19 |
flag, either globally or per package, to get mysql functionality into |
| 20 |
other packages. |

As for your other question (why is it needed?) - I guess for me this is |
| 23 |
the simplest and most to the point exposition of setting up mysql I have |
| 24 |
found. The forums and mailing list seem to reveal that the steps of |
| 25 |
setting initial databases and permissions is one where newbies have some |
| 26 |
difficulties. I like it. |

| 28 |
I am often referring non gentoo users to the fine gentoo documentation. |

Keep it coming. |
