Please add virtual-mysql-* pacakges to the official list of virtual packages
Hello!
Paul noted to me that the file
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt
does not list mysql-virtual-* packages.
I suggest you to add it there.
This virtual package naming scheme has been agreed on inside the
pkg-mysql-maint team (which is accepted according to
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-virtual_pkg).
This has been announced by James Page in August 2014:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/08/msg00016.html
There were no objections. It has also been announced in MDN#37:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/11/msg00015.html
The policy is documented at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/virtual-mysql-server and followed
by all MariaDB, MySQL, Percona and Mysql-wsrep packages out there, and
many many "consuming" packages.
It would be good that the file
https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt
also mentioned it.
Thanks!
- Otto
