Since there are probably still a bunch of people like me running mysql-4.1 in production environments, i would like to point out that mysql has released version 4.1.22 on 2 november 2006, which fixes quite a few bugs. Full list of changes/bugs fixed is at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/news-4-1-22.html
dev-db/mysql-community-4.1.22 is in the tree. Shame on me I still consider this bug open until some thoughts are done on virtual/mysql
also dev-db/mysql-4.1.22 is in the tree, ChangeLog: *mysql-4.1.22 (10 Dec 2006) 10 Dec 2006; Francesco Riosa <vivo@gentoo.org> +mysql-4.1.22.ebuild: As everybody already know mysql is now splitted in community and enterprise to better serve their customers, both versions are still under the GPL umbrella and there is already a lot of information in internet aabout this. The "cs" and "en" sources are packaged as dev-db/mysql, dev-db/mysql-community. Now 4.1.22 homepage show it as community sources but it will appear here too, the motivations are listed below: - gentoo-team were told by upstream that {cs,en} split only apply to >= 5.0.27 - comparing the sources with previous don't show differences in fex "mysql.info" file, the same file instead is different in 5.0.{27,28} and add an explanation of differences between the two releases. thanks for the patience
