LIFO proposal - Learn from TV, update your server in "differita" <- translate as needed. Follow the updates of the main stable branch ... delayed 4 weeks. You will have a 100 times more tested tree than the hyper stable one. We need a handly way to do this - Apart from the icc compiled ones avoid the use of precompiled binary. MySQL compiling and running depends from few other things: = linux-headers / kernel ? = glibc = gcc / compiler = crypt = ssh = readline = perl = nsl = tcp wrappers Ask to MySQL ab what version of theese they certify and build in loco the stuff should be non plus ultra Best regards Francesco Riosa -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
