No; we're specifically *not* interested in building alternatives infrastructure. It would be a waste of effort if we're going to stop shipping mysql as of F20 (or maybe even F19 if things go well). Almost certainly, we'll just make the mariadb and mysql packages Conflict: so they can't be installed concurrently. If we need to make them be concurrently installable then that's a whole new bag of hurt to deal with for only short-term benefit. mariadb really wants to plop down exactly where mysql was sitting: take over the executable names, the library sonames, the data directory, etc. Anything else will greatly complicate packaging and open the door to added bugs. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
