Currently its a policy problem with the EPEL since if I build the MariaDB as a replacement package for the base mysql, I will be breaking the policy of the EPEL repo. However if I make it as a separate package that will reside under /usr/local they may approve the package. But we still discuss that in the EPEL mailing list. Colin I understood from Karanbir that you are also working on the packages for the CentOS plus repo. If you want I can also take over the maintainership of the packages for CentOS plus. > Good luck! > > cheers, > -c > -- > Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: > colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.
