After doing that, you will also need to:
portmaster -fr databases/mysql55-client
to relink everything against the new libmysql.so -- portmaster defaults
to simply deleting any old shlibs when there is an ABI version bump, so
anything dependent on the older version will cease to function
corrrectly[*] from that point. There is a '-w' option which can help
smooth over such transitions, but even that is no panacea. If you
accidentally end up trying to load two different versions of libmysql.so
into the same application, it will result in crashyness.
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] ie. you can't /start/ it: stuff that is already running will mostly
be OK.
