It is my understanding that it is a "fork" of MySQL that was done because people are untrusting of what Oracle might do (or not do) with MySQL. Much in the same way that Libre Office got forked from Open Office (only to have Oracle then give it to the Apache foundation, which would have been a good home for it anyway had we known).
That all said, I haven't yet tried to connect an existing Rivendell system to MarianDB yet.

I want to use this machine on a network including several other Rivendell workstations that use MySQL. Are there any interoperability issues between MySQL and MariaDB, or are the two basically clones of each other? _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list [email protected] http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
