13 Holly,
14 Thanks for the usual helpful effort. Maybe you can tell me how one
15 controlls what ebuild is used. For example:
16
17 ls /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql
18 ChangeLog mysql-4.0.25-r2.ebuild mysql-5.0.15.ebuild
19 Manifest mysql-4.0.26.ebuild mysql-5.0.16-r1.ebuild
20 files mysql-4.1.14.ebuild mysql-5.0.16-r30.ebuild
21 metadata.xml mysql-4.1.15-r30.ebuild
22 mysql-3.23.58-r1.ebuild mysql-4.1.15.ebuild
23
24 I was able to to at least start mysql-5.0.15.ebuild, how would I
25 select it out of the others thru emerge?
26
27 I foolishly ran the last -u world with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 and have
28 since set that globally. So I'm now bleeding edge and it appears that
29 it would take some doing to undo that at this point so thought I'd go
30 with it for a while and see if I could get ontop of it.
31
32 I know about using the actual path and that is how I'm installing it
33 as I write but one always gets those troublesome messages about
34 installing by path being broken....
