[gentoo-dev] **HEADS UP** Apache2 + MySQL4 moving to stable status

[Donny Davies <woodchip@gentoo.org>]

  Sometime this weekend (likely Friday or Saturday) Robin and I
will move these two packages to non-arch-masked status.  So you
will no longer get the older versions by default.  Yes, old
versions will still be available; we're not going to delete
Apache1 nor MySQL3 ebuilds.  They will be kept available for
those who still want them.

  In the case of MySQL4, you should run revdep-rebuild after
your upgrade, so that your libmysqlclient-dependant packages
are linked with the new library.  Please `emerge gentoolkit'
to obtain the revdep-rebuild program.

  In the case of Apache2, be aware that several of what *were*
third-party DSO modules, are now included with Apache itself.
This means that you don't need to install mod_gzip, mod_ssl,
mod_auth_ldap, mod_dav from /usr/portage/net-www anymore.
Also, the whole `ebuild /var/db/pkg/cat/pkg/pkg.ebuild config'
dance is not required for thirdy-party modules anymore, due
to a simpler default configuration file schema.

  Thank you to everybody who has provided testing and feedback
with respect to these upgrades.

                Donny.
