Is it possible to add USE flag "server" to package dev-db/mysql or client_only. I have used mysql with USE "minimal" and all was fine, before I was need to change connection charset. Current ebuild(mysql.eclass) include following rule for minimal configuration myconf="${myconf} --with-extra-charsets=none" And now I was need to install complete mysql, this is very bad in my situation. In ideal I need only command line client and libmycsqlclient* without limit on charsets. Reproducible: Always
No. USE=server has been vetoed many times before in Gentoo. It will not be introduced. How about I add a variable you can override for the charsets? MYSQL_CHARSETS: if set by user, use. if USE=minimal, defaults to none if USE=-minimal, defaults to all
