[gentoo-dev] Last rites: nss-mysql

This package is no longer maintained upstream, and has several problems.

An alternative implementation exists (and works as well as being
actively maintained) as sys-libs/libnss-mysql.

If there are no complaints, I'll hard-mask libnss-mysql on Friday, and
remove it at the end of next week.

I think that what Robin was trying to state was that an alternative to 
libnss-mysql is available, not that the alternative /is/ libnss-mysql :)

No.

The old package is nss-mysql.
libnss-mysql is what any users of nss-mysql should move to.

In that case, your last paragraph was wrong:

Technically, libnss-mysql is also obsolete: it's been replaced by its creator
by NSVS. There's an ebuild for that package in Bugzilla. It works wonderfully.

Whoops. My bad.

NSVS is nice, but it's also a bit of overkill for the moment.
