I've spent several days scattered over the last year trying to come up with a port which does build the driver. I've got a version for 2.0.8 which builds all the non-J2EE JDBC2 classes, but I've never been able to get the JDBC1 classes built. I've had various versions of this working since around February, but I keep getting bogged down trying to get the JDBC1 drivers built. Would people rather have a port which just installs the pre-built jar file, or can they live with a JDBC2-only port which is built from the sources? Also, should I leave the 1.2c port around and have this one added as mysql-jdbc-mm2? The 2.0 line was supposed to end in June after version 2.0.5, but I haven't seen any sign of either a 2.1 or a 3.0 release. Alternatively, the current driver could move to mysql-jdbc-mm1 and the new one could live on as mysql-jdbc-mm.
