Hi all,
By now you must know of the movement to replace MySQL with MariaDB in
Fedora-land (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReplaceMySQLwithMariaDB).
One important thing is to ensure that MariaDB is a drop-in replacement. Fedora
is a fast-moving high quality Linux distribution, so their focus aims are to
ensure that MariaDB and MySQL are compatible, data can be migrated easily and
there are minimal/no upgrade issues (and if so, they need to be documented)
This is why on 30 April 2013, there is a Fedora test day dedicated to this very
important task:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-04-30_MariaDB
I plan to be on IRC for as long as humanly possible on #fedora-test-day
(freenode) and will be watching the process closely. If you would like to
participate, this is naturally welcome to help new MariaDB users
Thanks!
cheers,
-colin
