For my second iteration of installing this through the original port, I was able to install mysql323-client and php4 before installing dotproject, and everything worked. So it appears that php4-mysql will use mysql323-client if it's already installed. I haven't dug through the code to see how that is done, though. There are patches out there for making things work with MySQL 4 and 5. However, they are not officially supported. I am debating putting the patches in for MySQL 5, but if someone goes to the trouble of installing MySQL 3.23 before installing php4-mysql and dotproject, I think it will break. Is there any way of getting the dotproject dependency on MySQL 3.23 to be stronger than the php4-mysql default dependency on mysql5-client?
