MySQL 5.5 is now stable across all arches. The upgrade process will be require you to rebuild everything linked to libmysqlclient.so.16 and libmysqlclient_r.so.16. This may be done for you by portage with 'emerge @preserved-rebuild'. A small number of libraries may not be automatically rebuilt against the new MySQL libraries using preserved-rebuild. If you have difficulties with packages not finding the new libraries, install app-portage/gentoolkit and run: # revdep-rebuild --library libmysqlclient.so.16 # revdep-rebuild --library libmysqlclient_r.so.16 The official upgrade documentation is available here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/upgrading.html Please be sure to review the upgrade document for any possible actions necessary before and after the upgrade. This includes running mysql_upgrade after the upgrade completion. Due to security flaws, MySQL 5.1 will be hard masked in 30 days after this news item is posted. It will remain in masked the tree for 3 months before removal. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJT7RTxAAoJEE4V4vFnx44dC/YH/3jiU/9kSfqaLoAkLXIcegFM b2us23rUXI0+Xws9otkq0kX4Zl+a/nrDmouB8+jh6OISbUt8/sif1JEvH+PO8xID o0jJEgqslhCN5qUMtvSOMz5Dxrx2OwREM4s/EsDWV4wprW8M9auA5ZOl1Fm/HVtJ eJwDVCE/fHyN8nYgNRxau/01dKdu35kfu4Q+KOfUaq9I55w2M+xb9SVkc6UZFB7R xqh1zQhXpCzZbjZDrIkuEU23olUiTFB2e4eH9P6H9IghhFWZ+fa8NjTwCrSiwKvq UOX+dodmklmCfgATVxAsxWEKPzyRomoeqHw9BdXZ2K6Xqm+wKux0ySmjen0eN3Q= =r3DL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
