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.
I've re-checked the MR and I'm a little wrong. Besides cracklib problem,
there are some other compiling issues, which have already been described
in MR comment. Sorry that I didn't check it carefully.
