Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875150 --- Comment #12 from Renich Bon Ciric <renich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- (In reply to comment #11) > Sorry for quite long delay, but I've finally found time to get back to this. > However, after consulting with another packagers it seems much better to not > use completely new SPEC file and packaging mariadb from scratch, but we > should rather work on existing mysql.spec instead.

What do you think? Well, I am glad to let you be the packager. The goal is to have MariaDB in Fedora. Let me know if I can assist you. On the reviewer offer, It'd be my first package as a reviewer and I don't feel it's a good one to start with; I rather start with a simpler one. I will kindly refuse. Please, find another reviewer. Thank you for your hard work and effort. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
