I was thinking about diverging from the mysql upgrade process described at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml
by one small bit. I'd rather not have the half-hour or so downtime while compiling mysql,
so I was hoping to (after backing up my data) "emerge --buildpkg mysql" to get the 4.1
package all built. Then I'd stop mysql 4.0, unmerge it, "emerge --usepkgonly mysql" and
restore my data.
However, I have a feeling it won't work because the 4.1 ebuild probably checks for the
existence of 4.0 on the system. If that's the case, could I maybe do the "export
MYSQL_STRAIGHT_UPGRADE=1" step from the straight upgrade instructions?
Of course, I'm not keen on doing any of this if there's some reason that vpopmail is not
getting rebuilt with libmysqlclient.so.14... anyone have any luck with that yet?
thanks,
b
