However, as of today, I believe that it is sufficiently ready to be used on ~arch systems, and I will be updating the global package.mask to now only block MySQL 5.6. MySQL 5.6 does not pass it's own testsuite yet, so it'll be a while before it becomes more available. If you want it sooner, be sure to keep an eye on the mysql team overlay! I'd like to thank Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) and Brian Evans for their tireless fighting with the ebuilds. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
