Adding a dev-db/mysql-bin package seems the only short-term viable solution to have those versions of mysql in portage tree. Leaving out all the problems that dependant packages have after mysql 4.1.3 release. I'm going to writing an ebuild that (maybe using alternatives.eclass) unpack the binary distribuited version of mysql in /opt/ dir and symlink all the programs to paths currently used from the source dist. any input on how to write it in a way that permit it to be included in the portage tree very apreciated, expecially that from Robin H.
