# /etc/init.d/mysql stop
# emerge -C mysql
# tar cjpvf ~/mysql.$(date +%F"T"%H-%M).tar.bz2 /etc/mysql/my.cnf
/var/lib/mysql/
# ls -l ~/mysql.*
# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/ /var/log/mysql
========================================
# emerge -av dev-db/mysql
It completed installing/compiling then..
# emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.0.32
