Description Sascha Cunz 2013-04-13 04:15:02 UTC

The mysql-v2.eclass silently assumes that /var/run/mysql exists and is a directory. This is not the case, i.e. if you emerge mysql, then reboot before configuring mysql.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-db/mysql
2. reboot system or rm -rf /var/run/mysql
3. emerge --config =dev-dev/mysql-5.5.30
Actual Results:  
The configuration dies with error "Completely failed to start up mysqld with ${cmd}"

Expected Results:  
The directory should have been created and the configuration step should have succeeded.

I forgot to add a comment here, but I've fixed this in the overlay[1].
