mysql 5.1 is out now, and soon to be released for Gentoo ~arch users. The
official mysql upstream upgrade documents talk about backing up the
database, running a couple commands (repair-tables, basically) on it to do
the upgrade, and going from there.
But there's a problem. I haven't the foggiest where these databases are
kept for kde/akonadi users -- it's obviously not a system database as I'm
not starting a system service. And I don't know much about running the
upgrade -- will the upstream upgrade docs work as-is once I feed them the
correct path, or is there something special I need to do -- make sure
akonadi's not running or something, maybe? Where's the KDE documentation
on this? Surely they have some if they're using the mysql software, as
they are.
The official upgrade docs are available here:

The thread on the gentoo-dev list discussing the upgrade package-manager
news item, so far without input from anyone on the gentoo/kde project,
