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

I've added the how-to to the page.

Thanks!

I've also asked Gentoo to include MariaDB via their bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303130 Robin Johnson has begun to accept my changes and will be added to Gentoo proper in the future. It is still in an experimental overlay, but will be merged to the main tree. So, the above instructions are valid until Gentoo posts into the official tree. Then, Gentoo fans can simply "emerge mariadb".

It's now official: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/dev-db/mariadb
