Description Attila Tóth 2006-04-12 17:24:42 UTC 
Using stable apache2 and php5.
After emerging recent stable mysql ebuild makes all special latin2 characters to appear strange (utf-8 misconverted) screwing up LAMP pages on box. No matter what I specify in my.cnf for default-character-set, character-set-server, character-sets-dir, default-collation or any arbitrary combinations of these with values of utf8, latin1 or latin2.
Downgrading to 4.1.14 solves the problem.
I tried to investigate the ebuild itself, but I have to admit, that although I could understand the 4.1.14's ebuild, but I couldn't interpret 4.1.14-r1's ebuild lacking basic components. It seems to be similar to currently masked mysql ebuilds.
I don't know how to tune compilation options regarding this new ebuild style.
Has anybody experienced the same problem regarding character translations?
