Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:16531 darren.weber.lists@…]:
 > I think we need a symbolic link for mysql in /opt/local/bin/mysql so
 that basic config scripts will work.  I guess this can screw up
 installation of multiple versions,

 Installation of multiple versions is [ticket:4115 already screwed], though
 I would rather unscrew it than screw it more. :-)

 > but that can be handled by having some meta scripts to set the preferred
 alternative or current working version.

 You mean like [browser:contrib/README select]? We could create a
 mysql_select port using select. However if the goal is to be able to type
 just "mysql" at the command line and have it launch mysql, then the way to
 do that currently is to add /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin to your $PATH.

 > In this ticket, I just want to highlight that the secure installation
 fails because it cannot find the mysql command (maybe there is an easy
 solution for this):

 Duplicate of #14600. We should patch mysql_secure_installation.
