Hi,
how I can change the database path with emerge? Like the -localstatedir=/home/mysql/data option at compiling the source.
thx for help,

You would need to edit the ebuild by hand to do this... |

And possibly make use of PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to prevent your changes from being overwritten on each 'emerge sync'

Just make sure that portage doesn't miss critical updates in the future because you have the ebuild in PORTDIR_OVERLAY... I've seen portage only consider the files in the overlay if there was one and neglect to mention newer ebuilds in the main tree. Not sure if I'm crazy, that was a bug, or that was and still is the intended behavior, but I've seen it. |

I haven't tried this for a while but earlier if you put "same" ebuild in OVERLAY portage freaked out forcing you to make it -r1 or something. This is stupid behaviour I think. Better if PORTDIR_OVERLAY just overtrumphed PORTDIR when ebuilds have same name, as an update in PORTDIR then whould show itself.

Why do you need to do this with emerge? /etc/mysql/my.cnf will allow you to change the various files that MySQL uses - the one you are looking for is "datadir", which is /var/lib/mysql by default. I don't see much need to try to do this through the ebuild. |
