Hello

I wish to emerge only the client for postgresql and mysql. not the servers (that is running on other systems). Is there any easy way to do this?

As far as I know, you emerge mysql as a client-server package. You have the option of not using the server, but it will be installed on the system anyway.

Which clients are you talking about? The command line ones that come with the servers or some third-party client?

There is an official mysql client in a separate package called mysqlcc

I'm talking about the command-line clients yes.
It's no big problem, just want to save space. Especially since I'm going to install both postgres and mysql.

I guess I could slam together a few clients in Python.

There is abug about it, #12499. I've modified ebuilds for some packages to support a "server" USE flag, see http://linux.emulation64.com to get them. Please note that these are unoffical ebuilds, so don't report bugs associated with them on bugzilla.
