This looks like a good solution, although I'd suggest that the mysql5 port get a post-activate message to the effect of "if you want to run a mysql5 server on this computer, install mysql5-server too"
even simpler: the server port would just install the launchctl bits and activate the server OR the option to switch between the server and client could be activated post-install: to use the client libraries, nothing need be done -- to enable the server, follow these steps. If security is an issue, I have to ask what is the risk involved in having the server binaries sitting on a disk, but not running and, if the OS level security/operational mechanisms are effective, unable to run? In other words, the server isn't likely to just start up by itself and expose the host to some risk. If that is likely, turning off networking in my.cnf, only allowing it to be toggled on by the user, would help with that. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
