[gentoo-user] my apologies for the mess with this release of MySQL 5.0.16

[Francesco R.]

my apologies for the mess with this release of MySQL 5.0.16 and for the 
one will come with the dev-db/mysql-4.1.15-r1 ebuild

Here is the relevant list of bugs opened (and closed) as a consequence 
of the new ebuild.

[Bug 113451] mysql-4.1.15 re-keyworded as -* with no note in changelog 
as to why
[Bug 113440] typo in mysql-5.0.16-r2 init script
[Bug 113356] /etc/init.d/mysql script fails to start server in 
mysql-5.0.16
[Bug 113352] mysql-5.0.16-r1 does not 
create /usr/lib{64}/libmysqlclient.so.15 symlink
[Bug 113334] mysql MD5 mysql-extras-20050920.tar.bz2 VERIFY FAILED! (old 
ebuild has correct value)

If you installed 5.0.16, the 1st and don't want to re-emerge it, follow 
these steps:
(may need to adjust the path accordingly with ARCH and personal 
settings)

# emerge --sync
# cp /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/files/mysql-slot.rc6 /etc/init.d/mysql
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/mysql
# cd /usr/lib{64}
# for i in libmysqlclient.so libmysqlclient_r.so ; do \
 for j in "" .15 .15.0 .15.0.0 ; do \
  echo ln -s /usr/lib/${i}.15.0.0 ${i}${j} \
 ; done \
; done
# chown -R mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld/

Francesco R.
