Are we getting rid of MySQL? Or just making Maria a "replaces" package?
Getting rid of MySQL would be crazy!
Of course, I'm going to use the replaces/provides flags, for both
mariadb and percona.
Please don't do this. provides and conflicts, yes, but there's no
reason this should be forced as an upgrade path for mysql users. Using
replaces here is just as good as killing it off entirely. Users still
have a choice -- don't take it away from them.

Sorry, I got confused, my mistake. Only provides, of course!
No, make it provides and conflicts. That is the way we handle
alternative but conflicting choices of packages.
Wow what an outcry! I think he got it!
Massimiliano, I saw you have some ruby packages in your github repo, but
you did not mention ruby as a language you have skills in. I think we lack
someone with that skill.
Sven-Hendrik, do you sponsor Massimiliano? And do you mind to let the
discussion period begin? (Yes, I am a nitpicker)
I maintain pngcrush in AUR and thought myself to bring it to [community].
The main reason for not doing so was that we have optipng there, which does
entirely the same as pngcrush.
Regards Stefan
