i know mariadb is replacing mysql. so i was wondering how pkg_add will deal with it.
$ sudo pkg_add -ui ... Can't update mysql-client-5.1.73v0+mysql-server-5.1.73p0v0->mariadb-client-10.0.13p0: no update found for mysql-server-5.1.73p0v0 Can't install p5-DBD-mysql-4.027->4.027p0: can't resolve mariadb-client-10.0.13p0 Can't install php-mysql-5.5.16->5.5.16p0: can't resolve mariadb-client-10.0.13p0 Can't install php-mysqli-5.5.16->5.5.16p0: can't resolve mariadb-client-10.0.13p0 ... $ sudo pkg_add mariadb-client quirks-2.14 signed on 2014-09-16T00:29:46Z Can't install mariadb-client-10.0.13p0 because of conflicts (mysql-server-5.1.73p0v0,mysql-client-5.1.73v0) --- mariadb-client-10.0.13p0 ------------------- Can't install mariadb-client-10.0.13p0: conflicts the second run is clear about the reason why things are not happening. however the first run is a bit confusing i think. is this a limitation of pkg_add or something is missing? (and i dont mean to automatically remove conflicting bits, just a clearer error message) when i remove the mysql-* packages, and install the mariadb ones, will it pick up /var/mysql as if nothing happened? -f -- you will become rich and famous unless you don't.
