Building mysql with readline instead of editline I'd really like to be able to use readline instead of editline with the mysql client, but I can't find out how to do this.

The bottled mysql that brew installs by default for mavericks is using editline.
There's no "readline" option in brew options mysql if I want to build if from source and it seems that I can't add this to the formula.

Has the readline support been dropped in mysql 5.6 ?
Should I use rlwrap as a workaround or is there a better way to do this ?

Thank you.
I know this question is super old, but if you use MariaDB instead it will be built with readline support. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL. brew update &amp;&amp; brew install mariadb
