Rebuilding all dependents when upgrading from mysql50 to mysql51 is absolutely
required. mysql50-client installs ${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15
whereas mysql51-client installs ${LOCALBASE}/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16
-- note the changed ABI version number. Unless you use portupgrade(1)
or save a copy of the old shlib by other means, anything that linked against
libmysqlclient would be rendered inoperable by the change, and must at least be
re-linked. Yes, the APIs have not changed, but APIs are a matter for programmers
at the time of writing the source code -- once compiled, it's the ABI that counts.
Cheers,
Matthew
