I read this in /usr/ports/UPDATING today:
=================================================
20101227:
AFFECTS: users of databases/mysql55-server
AUTHOR: ale@FreeBSD.org
MySQL 5.5 has been updated to 5.5.8 GA release. Since layout is
changed you should remove mysql55-{client/server/scripts} ports
before upgrading. The build system is changed too, so expect
failures.
=================================================
Now that seems pretty scary. Remove all mysql packages from my system?!?!
Expect failures?!?!?
I have important data in my current mysql install.
porky/zsh# pkg_info -Qao | grep -i mysql
mysql-client-5.5.7:databases/mysql55-client
mysql-server-5.5.7:databases/mysql55-server
php5-mysql-5.3.4:databases/php5-mysql
Should I wait until things settle down before upgrading?
I need better instruction on how to upgrade.
