You can try: 'dev-db/percona-server'

There are also 'dev-db/percona-toolkit' and 'dev-db/percona-xtrabackup',
should you need/want them.

yes, i know that.
but:

mailserver ~ # eix dev-db/percona-server
* dev-db/percona-server
Available versions: (8.0) ~8.0.26.16-r2^t
{cjk cracklib debug jemalloc latin1 ldap numa pam +perl profiling
rocksdb router selinux +server tcmalloc test tokudb
tokudb-backup-plugin}
Homepage:
https://www.percona.com/software/mysql-database/percona-server
https://github.com/percona/percona-server
Description: Fully compatible, enhanced and open source
drop-in replacement for MySQL


The ebuild is not updatet since 8.0.26.16.
The actual versions are not available since a long time.
Thats why i thought its discontinued.

Perhaps it is lack of a maintainer which caused it to fall behind. I don't use
this package, so I don't really know. I can see there was a bug filed back in
January, requesting the package version is updated. It received no replies:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/890762

For a more authoritative answer you could try to get in touch with the dev
team looking after mysql and its derivatives:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:MySQL

When packages are no longer maintained they are eventually removed from the
tree. I don't see percona on the list of orphan packages:

https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/maintainer-needed.html

If it proves difficult to get hold of the mysql devs, the Treecleaner project
members may know what is planned for percona-server:

HTH.
