One thing that I'm unsure about is the need to migrate /usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf to /usr/local/${SERVER}/etc/mysql/my.cnf. While I mention this in UPDATING it still feels like there is a high chance that end users would just do pkg upgrade without reading anything.

Ерфтлы!

Does this build in Poudriere and pass make test?

Next to mysql:server and mysql:client there should be a mysql:lib.

• Fix typo in CHANGES

To ease reviewing separate commits, here's a GitHub PR: https://github.com/arrowd/freebsd-ports/pull/9

• Rebase and bring to a committable state

This got superseded by a much simpler kernel-side implementation in D53086

I can commit those separately if you like, after you commit the main code.

• Rebase
• Update the man page

LGTM.

This was landed.

It'd be great to finally land this.

@alven can you land this?

Any movement on this?

Ping.
