Re: [debian-mysql] Will we see MariaDB in Jessie?

[Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com>]

I've done my best to package MariaDB following best practices on
Debian control files and conflict/replace rules. So I am confident to
say we actually already have a way how to get MySQL flavors to
coexist. What we seem to lack is _resources_. I guess we could package
all of Percona, Galera etc is we had 15 team members to take care of
all testing, security patching etc.

Would you like to join?

For my own part I packaged MySQL Cluster some time ago, but missed the wheezy freeze and besides no one came forward as a sponsor (I'm not a DD). It's largely based on the mysql-5.5 packaging.

Now the freeze is over I'll take a look at updating it following the meeting and raise it on debian-mentors again.
