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.


It's so kind of you to pay those efforts.


Are there any Hurd 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/145 
did get some progress, so if you want to take on this challenge, you
don't need to start from zero.
I've looked at that MR and found that the patch is mainly about disabling cracklib related features of MariaDB. I guess it might be because cracklib is failed to build on Hurd. So I've tried to fix cracklib build on Hurd and created a MR on it at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pkg-cracklib/-/merge_requests/6. If cracklib can be built successfully on Hurd, I think MariaDB can be built successfully automatically. If I'm wrong, please point out. 

Thanks!
