Excellent. The fact that you compile from sources makes the things easier. I guess we can add new collations officially into 10.2. Then after 3 month if you'll feel that 10.2 is not mature enough for you, we can make a custom non-official 10.1 tree with the new collations back-ported (it should be trivial to do). > > ci collations would be sufficient as a starting point.

Then we're flexible to implement #2 first, and wait for #1 to be done under terms of Google Summer Of Code 2016. > > Binarus > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
