Running masked packages (without unmasking everything) creates a maintenance headache. I'm trying to help get MySQL unmasked, so that people like me can use it without maintenance problems.

Tell me about it. We get almost 1,800 queries a second, and the query cache is a /HUGE/ benefit for us. > > Best, > -Riyad > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew Walker [mailto:mwalker@kydance.net] > Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 10:48 AM > To: gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > Subject: [gentoo-dev] Willing to help... > > > I'd really really like to get MySQL4 unmasked, and am willing to go > well out of my way to help the process along.
