mysql5: no helpful “how to get this running” after install

[ib51pi802@…]

I found that I had to do the following to get mysql5 running after install:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/mysql5 sudo mysql_install_db5 sudo chown -R mysql /opt/local/var/db/mysql5

And then run it with:

sudo mysqld_safe

I was not able to find this in the man page nor in the output from “sudo port install mysql5” — I think it would be nice to have the latter output a note like the above.
