Hi Dirk,
MariaDB, MySQL and their C & ODBC connectors maintainer here!
I agree with Michael Cronenworth, that the right way is to become a
Fedora packager and start taking care of the new package.
However, that can take some time and effort. (getting ready to become
the packager, do a review of somebody's package, find a sponsor, get
familiar with the infrastructure, propose a new package, a keep eye on
it for few fedora releases )
Posting the buildable package source files on Git{Hub,Lab,...} and
asking somebody to build it in COPR seems like a good first step to me
too.
In adition, with latest COPR features, it should be possible to hook
the external repo and rebuild automatically on each commit.
I don't understand MinGW at all, so my nex assumption may be wrong.
If the changes to the sources are only cosmetic from Linux POV, but
critical from MinGW POV, I'd be happy to offer the patch to MariaDB
upstream. (Or you can do it yourself through either their JIRA or
GitHub PR)
Anyway, even though I don't work with MinGW, this sound's like cool
package to have.
I'd surely add it to Fedora wiki pages I wrote about MariaDB and
software around.
Michal
