Hello, line 482 contains: if [[ pwd1 != pwd2 ]] ; then this should be replaced with: if [[ "x$pwd1" != "x$pwd2" ]] ; then Kind regards
Yes, it's a transcription error, was broken in mysql-4.1.13-r1.ebuild mysql-4.1.14.ebuild mysql-5.0.12_beta.ebuild , fixed now. Please wait few hours that cvs propagate.
Additional note, you will need to use ebuild /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql/mysql-<version>.ebuild config instead of ebuild /var/db .... config since we have not the magic to change it.
