Usually you can do something like this:
portupgrade -o databases/mysql51-client -f mysql-client-5.0.67
which will replace mysql client 5.0.67 with 5.1.26 or whatever the
patch levels have got to, while preserving the records of what depends
on mysql-client.
However, in this specific case, that will cause everything to pretty much=
=20
entirely stop working as there is an issue to do with changing the ABI=20
version number of the MySQL shlib. In this case you would also have to
go on and do:
portupgrade -fr mysql-client-5.1.26 -x mysql-client-5.1.26
to relink all of those applications. Remember too, if you have=20
WITH_MYSQL_VER=3D50 defined in /etc/make.conf then do change it.
You can achieve the same effect with other ports management applications
like portmaster but I'll leave working out the precise command lines as a=
n=20
exercise for the student.
Cheers,
Matthew
