Any hppa porters interested in getting MariaDB working?
Hello!
I've spent quite a lot of effort in trying to get MariaDB work on all
Debian architectures and I am happy to state that the situation
visible at https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=mariadb is
pretty good today. The only remaining problematic ones are hppa and
Hurd.
Are there any hppa porters with an interest in getting MariaDB working
in the port?
I am happy to take your patches, do additional testing and do uploads.
Unfortunately I can't do the actual port fixing myself as there is too
much work and the domain is something I am not strong in. My attempt
at fixes at https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests/146
did get some progress, so if you want to take on this challenge, you
don't need to start from zero.
I also have good experiences of getting upstream to accept porting
related patches (e.g. https://github.com/MariaDB/server/pull/4480) so
if you fix this in Debian and submit patches upstream, you most likely
will get those fixes into MariaDB permanently for all users globally.
