Hy,
Thx first for all the effort done on Gentoo :)

I am still stucked with an RC4 upgraded .... and got some problems ..

Mysql want to compile with berkley-db 3.2.3h or 3.2.9a ... and there is
only 3.2.9 on gentoo (That breaks the compilation).... wich one sould I
choose ??

PS : Compiling the 3.2.9 breaks everything (No ping anymore (segfault)
)...

By the way does anyone have an idea on how I could upgrade it to RC6 ???

Thx for any answer ...

Dont use mysql, sorry

I upgraded from RC5 to RC6, allthough possible, it is not entirely
bumpfree.

1)  Change the portage profile to RC6:

    rm /etc/make.profile
    ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0_rc6/ /etc/make.profile

2)  Next edit /etc/make.conf so that /etc is not protected anymore
(maybe create a backup of /etc first)

  echo 'CONFIG_PROTECT=""' >>/etc/make.conf

3)  The baselayout .ebuild will need editing to create the
/etc/runlevels correctly

look to the bottom of sys-apps/baselayout/baselayout-1.6.3.ebuild, and
change:

        #skip this if we are merging to ROOT
        [ "$ROOT" = "/" ] && return

        #set up default runlevel symlinks
        local bar
        for foo in default boot nonetwork single
        
to:
	#skip this if we are merging to ROOT
        #[ "$ROOT" = "/" ] && return

        #set up default runlevel symlinks
        local bar
        for foo in default boot nonetwork single

then merge baselayout-1.6.3.ebuild.

3) now do a: emerge system

4) update all packages to latest versions, especially daemons that run
at boot, and also make sure your kernel have tmpfs support (under
filesystem selection).  you can now cleanout /etc/rc.d, and remove
/etc/modules directory and change it to a file (touch /etc/modules)

Finally, you will have to do a bit of tweaking to get the system going
100% smooth.

NOTE: this worked for me from RC5 to RC6, but as I have no knowledge of
RC4, im not sure if it will work.  Maybe backup all your data and expect
the worst.  Also note that this is not supported by drobbins currently,
thus not by Gentoo as a whole, but only given by myself to try and help
you if you want to go for the leap.

Install an older version of mysql. "Don't use mysql" is a horrid answer. I
personally am using dev-db/mysql-3.23.41 on rc6 with absolutely no problems
whatsoever.

Hi!

I think he meant that _he_ doesn't use mysql not that noone should use
mysql.

Hi

Yes, like Hallski said, what I meant was: I do not use mysql myself, so
I cannot help you there ;)
