his will emerge the dev-db/mysql ebuild without adding it to the world
namespace. Thus, whenever you type ’emerge –update world’ mysql will not be
updated. This is extremely useful since portage doesn’t support straight,
unattended updates for mysql. Since you will have to manually update mysql
anyway, you may wish to remove it from world so that your auto-update script(s)
don’t fail.
