Created attachment 579162 [details] mysql-connector-c-8.0.16.ebuild Upstream seems to have stopped maintaining the the standalone mysql-connector-c releases. The last release for that is from 2 years ago now. It is however possible to build just the client lib from the regular mysql release tarball. The attached ebuild does just that, and I'm using it on my systems since a while now, originally to work around missing OpenSSL 1.1 support of the old version. The primary issue it has is that the soname of the library it builds is actually 21, not 18 anymore. But due to everything having the slot 18 hardcoded in, I was forced to keep it in slot 18. So it produces a lot of preserved-rebuilds. I also never tested it with libressl. Other than that, it worked and still works smoothly for everything I use it with. I'm not sure if the old libmysqlclient has any known issues, but getting a more up to date Version would be very nice either way.
