I was reading out-of-order...and not thinking right. The full devguide is at: http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/ Assuming you really need a specific version of mysql, and do not want to merge a version that already has the doc USE flag, the general idea is that you will want to: 1. Copy /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory, being sure to keep the directory structure intact. 2. Edit PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-db/mysql/mysql-.ebuild. Modify the configure steps as you want. 3. Run ebuild mysql-.ebuild digest 4. Merge mysql as normal. You can probably do some cleanup of the files in PORTDIR_OVERLAY to remove everything not related to the version of mysql that you want. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
