I just did this an hour ago. I got this messages"
"In order to preserve your existing data, you should:
- dump all your databases
- kill mysql if it is running
- delete the /var/db/mysql directory
- run 'make install'
- start up mysql
- re-create all of your database
- re-load your data"
But I said, the heck with that. I just renamed /var/db/mysql to
mysal.old and did make install and it worked.
Note: It broke something just renaming mysql.old back to mysql. I had to
copy the db directories one at a time for some reason.
