Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I am following the guide given by Gentoo. I am having trouble and am looking for help. At the point in the guide where it states. Important: If you are upgrading between version revisions (ie. dev-db/mysql-5.0.18 to dev-db/mysql-5.0.18-r30), you can simply stop the database, move from one data directry to the other, and restart the server. This allows you to skip this section entirely. I am not sure what to do, the guide does not state how to do this, and am looking for help. I cannot move on to the point of deleting databases or unmerging things or setting eselect mysql until I get past the point I am having trouble. Hopefully I made myself clear enough now.
