Hi,
MariaDB is now included in Fedora repositories, this makes it easier to
install and more stable option for Fedora installations. Currently
MariaDB can be used by including mariadb (use mariadb.org pkgs) or
mariadb-rdo (use redhat RDO pkgs) element when building an image. What
do you think about using MariaDB as default option for Fedora when
running devtest scripts?

(first, I believe Jan means that MariaDB _Galera_ is now in Fedora)

I think so too.

Id like to give this a try. This does start to change us from being a
deployment of openstck to being a deployment per distro but IMO thats a
reasonable position.

Id also like to propose that if we decide against doing this then these
elements should not live in tripleo-image-elements.

I'm not so sure I agree. We have lio and tgt because lio is on RHEL but
everywhere else is still using tgt IIRC.

However, I also am not so sure that it is actually a good idea for people
to ship on MariaDB since it is not in the gate. As it diverges from MySQL
(starting in earnest with 10.x), there will undoubtedly be subtle issues
that arise. So I'd say having MariaDB get tested along with Fedora will
actually improve those users' test coverage, which is a good thing.

I am favourable to the idea of switching to mariadb for fedora based distros.

Currently the default mysql element seems to be switching [1], yet for ubuntu/debian only, from the percona provided binary tarball of mysql to the percona provided packaged version of mysql.

In theory we could further update it to use percona provided packages of mysql on fedora too but I'm not sure there is much interest in using that combination where people gets mariadb and galera from the official repos.

Using different defaults (and even drop support for one or another, depending on the distro), seems to me a better approach in the long term.

Are there contrary opinions?
