In it's older (and deprecated) form was "ebuild path/name.ebuild config" . Basically it run the pkg_config() function inside the ebuild itself. Specifically MySQL pkg_config() actions are the following: - check that no mysql server are running on the box or die - check that datadir (/var/lib/mysql) is empty or die - ask for a password - install the databases (mysql & test) - fill the help tables for command line client - fill the timezone tables - set the _mysql_ root password -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
