That just shows how broken it is to have both in Fedora at the same time.
The current solution is broken, but I hope we can find a way to have both.
We need to make sure that
1. the live CD composes don't fail due to conflicts and
2. our users get the default database flavor, not a random one,
and I don't see any other way to enforce this than to require
mariadb-server directly.
Are you saying that you would always like to have one particular server
implementation, or could you depend on a common provide and let the user
choose one or the other (as long as the default situation is solved)? This
will influence the possibilities we have wrt. server packaging:
- If your answer is that you would like akonadi-mysql to always choose
MariaDB or MySQL (no user choice), we have to make MariaDB and MySQL
parallel installable.
- If you are happy with either implementation (default, or changed
manually by the user), we can have conflicting MariaDB and MySQL packages.
