Bastian's ebuilds work well for both 4.1 and 5.0: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83011
Yeah, I've been reading that thread and considering using the ebuild. My head starts to spin a bit though, with all the intersecting "here's a patch for this" and "make sure you read that", etc.
I think both 4.1 and 5.0 should be merged into the Portage tree.
*Can anyone reading this give me ANY indication how long it will be before this happens?* (Robin? You around?) If it'll happen in the next week or two I'll wait. If no one has any idea when it'll happen, I guess I'll do it this weekend.
BTW, to minimize downtime, you can upgrade like this:
emerge --onlydeps =mysql-5.0.4_beta && \ emerge --buildpkg --nodeps =mysql-5.0.4_beta # dump data, shutdown server emerge --unmerge mysql && \ emerge --usepkg =mysql-5.0.4_beta # start server, reload data revdep-rebuild # should not be needed for 4.1 to 5.0 upgrade
This is nice but I'm fine with 4.1... for which I should use Francesco's overlay and for which these instructions won't work at all, correct? He has some instructions on his site that seem pretty straightforward.

Looking at that bug, however, it looks like there's a patch for libwww that fixes that problem. Should I use the patch or compile libwww without "mysql" use flag? I use vpopmail, which uses libmysqlclient... doesn't that have something to do with libwww?
