If both "app-db/mysql-commercial" and "app-db/mysql" are in portage the packages may depend over a "virtual/mysql" . Virtuals are used in gentoo tree for packages that both provide the same functionality. > > Does this exist and if not - would it be of use for me to contribute back to portage? > > e.g. app-db/mysql-commercial Users to get a package in the tree need to open a bug and attach the an ebuild, then a developer could take care of the bug and insert it into the tree. However that developer will probably need a copy of a commercial MySQL to test and work on. As an alternative you could try to become a developer and take care yourself of the package. > > Thanks > > Steve Regards, Francesco -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
