The upgrade process +will 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 masked in the tree for +3 months before removal. |
