Firstly, make sure you don't have any 'WANT_MYSQL_VER= XX' settings
in /etc/make.conf while doing this -- you can put such things back in
place once this update is complete.
Assuming you're a portupgrade user, do the following in this order:
# portupgrade -o databases/mysql41-client -f mysql-client-4.0\*
# portupgrade -o databases/mysql41-server -f mysql-server-4.0\*
Then possibly one or both of the following if you have either of these
two ports installed -- if not then just omit this bit:
# portupgrade -o databases/p5-DBD-mysql41 -f p5-DBD-mysql40-\*
# portupgrade -o databases/mysql41-scripts -f mysql-scripts-4.0\*
Then rebuild anything that might link against the libmysql shlib,
as you've just replaced it with a later ABI version:
# portupgrade -fr -x '>=mysql-client-4.1.22' mysql-client-4.1.22
That rebuilds everything that depends on the mysql client libraries
except for packages rebuilt after the updates to the client libraries
at the beginning of these instructions.
Cheers,
Matthew
