Description Juan Francisco Giordana 2010-02-05 09:01:58 UTC
The description of the now obsoleted dev-db/mysql-community is the same than dev-db/mysql and users (me) may consider that that is too confusing.

dev-db/mysql
dev-db/mysql-community
virtual/mysql

There are no explanations about the similarities or differences between all these ebuilds and one have to go the Changelogs and the web to find what's going on. Took me *several* hours to find out what's going because I'm not following the maintenance of this package.

Reproducible: Always

I added a warning at the top of the dev-db/mysql-community ChangeLog, and the DESCRIPTION field.
