Thanks!
I've added a Gentoo sub-page to our Building MariaDB page with a link to your build scripts.
http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/Building_MariaDB:Gentoo
Right now the only thing on the page is the link and I'd like to add a brief how-to to the page, but I don't know anything about Gentoo.
Do you think you could write a brief how-to on using your scripts to build MariaDB on Gentoo which I could then post to the page (giving you credit, of course)? Our wiki content is dual-licensed GNU-FDL/CC BY-SA, just like Wikipedia.
emerge is the Gentoo package manager. Brief HowTo: 1. Grab the ebuilds and related files into a directory: "git clone http://github.com/grknight/mariadb-gentoo.git" 2. Add the directory to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf. e.g. PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/mariadb-gentoo" 3. Copy the files from the distfiles directory in the repository to /usr/portage/distfiles. (This is for mariadb patches that differ from Gentoo main.) 4. Add dev-db/mariadb to your /etc/portage/package.keywords and add any optional features (USE flags) to your /etc/portage/package.use 5. emerge mariadb
