--- Comment #25 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
Ladies/Gentleman, the issue tracker is for isolating/tracking issues and change
requests. The mailing lists are for discussion. Please respect that
distinction, as anything to the contrary wastes time we all have precious
little of.

It's safe to say:

That /var/db/${PORTNAME} will remain the default given the number of ports that
use it and it ought be possible to separate these two concerns. Let's beat the
non-system-databases-need-a-new-home horse on the mailing lists.

That whatever change is made will need to made consistently across
mysql/maria/percona/foo ports.

Can someone please comment on (and only on) exactly what precludes/prevents the
correct functioning of the datadir argument in my.cnf as it stands today. This
will save me (or others) the time of having to hunt it down.

I'd prefer any of the maintainers of the respective ports (all are now CC'd) to
provide authoritative information, but will settle for anyone who actually
knows the root cause.
