jeroen ~ # emerge -DauNv world [...] emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=dev-db/mysql-5.0.76-r1[embedded,-minimal]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - dev-db/mysql-5.0.84-r1 (Change USE: +embedded -minimal) (dependency required by "media-sound/amarok-2.2.0" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "world" [argument] As of Amarok 2.2 remote MySQL backends are supported, which would allow "minimal". See http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MySQL_Server and http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-788725-highlight-amarok+mysql.html
It would allow minimal if you want to write a massive patch.
The amarok-9999 ebuild already has a use flag for enabling/disabling the embedded mysql server that takes advantage of the a config switch added to amarok in git tree. We'll adjust amarok in the tree when upstream makes a release that adds the configure switch.
fixed in 2.2.1.90 (beta1), thanks
