Are there in fact docs available for this version yet? From MYSQL, I
mean, not Gentoo. Perhaps that's why you haven't been able to find such
a separate package-- it doesn't yet exist, because the 'source' (the
docs themselves) don't. Worth checking, anyway.

Except that most of those flags are no longer valid for the unstable
version...

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv mysql

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-db/mysql-5.0.16-r2  -berkdb -big-tables -cluster
-debug -extraengine -minimal +perl (-selinux) +ssl -static -utf8

The ChangeLog suggests that you may have missed a step or two, or
perhaps should reconsider that "~arch" setting in this case:

*mysql-5.0.16-r2 (23 Nov 2005)

  23 Nov 2005; Francesco Riosa <vivo@gentoo.org> mysql-4.1.15.ebuild,
  mysql-4.1.15-r30.ebuild, -mysql-5.0.16-r1.ebuild, +mysql-5.0.16-r2.ebuild,
  mysql-5.0.16-r30.ebuild:
  fix Bug #113352 , mysql-5.0.16-r1 does not create
  /usr/lib{64}/libmysqlclient.so.15 symlink

  ==>The linkage has been somewhat improved too. It has been moved in
  ==>pkg_postinst() function to advise the user to use "revdep-rebuild"
with the
  ==>right --so-name option.

  As a consequence it does not rely on "dosym" but use "ln" program
  directly(bug).

  ==>it work now with FEATURES="prelink notitles sandbox strict userpriv
  ==>usersandbox keeptemp keepwork" but in the future may be needed to
advise
  sandbox that we are messing up with the live file-system

*mysql-5.0.16-r1 (23 Nov 2005)

  23 Nov 2005; Francesco Riosa <vivo@gentoo.org> files/mysql-slot.rc6,
  -mysql-5.0.16.ebuild, +mysql-5.0.16-r1.ebuild:
  Version bump, modified rc init script thanks to Jasper Bryant-Greene for
  reporting a bug

*mysql-5.0.16-r30 (23 Nov 2005)
*mysql-5.0.16 (23 Nov 2005)

  23 Nov 2005; Francesco Riosa <vivo@gentoo.org> files/mysql-slot.rc6,
  -mysql-4.0.26-r30.ebuild, mysql-4.1.15-r30.ebuild,
  -mysql-5.0.13_rc.ebuild, -mysql-5.0.15-r30.ebuild, +mysql-5.0.16.ebuild,
  +mysql-5.0.16-r30.ebuild:
  Version bump for the 5.0 series.
  The ebuild has been rewritten, it's the first step to slot the mysql
database
  server. (diff 5.0.16 and 5.0.16-r30 if you don't belive at it)

  Also the rc scripts are changed, hopefully bug #109380 is gone (Thanks to
  Rodrigo Severo for shaping it).

  It's possible from now start more than one server tweaking the
  /etc/conf.d/mysql .

  The future of slotted MySQL is still uncertain but the rc script will
be kept.

  More than uncertain is the slotting of MySQL-4.0 too.

  ==>reassuming, be careful playing with these ebuilds, never ever
  ==> "~ARCH" keywords has been so unstable.

-------

Of course, you might want to upgrade to -r2, since clearly some things
didn't work in -r1 (in ebuild terms)

You might also want to stick with stable until things settle down a bit.

Just my 2 Eurocents, as you see, I'm not a MySQL user.

HTH,
Holly
