According to b.g.o, there are only 4 open bugs against mysqlcc (http://tinyurl.com/5lojj): #41794 (dev-db/mysqlcc-0.9.3 missing files and segfaults) appears to be fixed in 0.9.4, according to the comments (I never encountered the bug myself, even under 0.9.3). #57726 (mysqlcc failed to build) hasn't affected me. #29689 (mysqlcc returns error during table creation about missing syntax.txt at $HOME/syntax.txt) has an easy workaround, which only has to be performed once. #57308 (mysqlcc crashes strangely) hasn't affected me, since our tables remain static. That said, this is a rather serious bug, and I can see why you would like to remove mysqlcc from portage. It is indeed unfortunate that the MySQL team (upstream) have dropped support for their older products, while simultaneously claiming their replacements (MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser) are not ready for production use.
