>Description:
In the update to MySQL 4.1.10, the mysql41-server port lost its DB_DIR make option. The DB_DIR is now set statically in the compile to /var/db/mysql. This appears to have been part of a "fix" to being able to specify the DB_DIR in rc.conf, but I don't understand why this was taken out at the same time. It should still be possible to specify the database directory passed to mysql's configure script.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Simply add DB_DIR back into the Makefile, and set --localstatedir=${DB_DIR} instead of --localstatedir=/var/db/mysql
