​I'm sorry, could you explain why we can't depend on mysql-server instead
of mysql-server-core-5.6​ on the Build-Depenps(-Indep)?
I believe i don't have as much experience packaging as you do, i just
started recently.

I've got the impression that you mean asking for the mysql team to package
mysql-server-core and mariadb-server-core wouldn't be a solution, is that
right? If so, why?

Also, I just saw that the Debian Release Team decided that the default
database option should be MariaDB[1], so instead of mysql-server, we put
mariadb-server.

Hi Andreas,

I agree with your considerations, but i don't quite understand what's your
proposed solution,.did you talk to anyone from Debian MySQL Maintainers
about packaging mysql-server-core? I will send them this request if you
didn't.

Also, amarok can use mysql-server instead.
The depedency tree
mysql-server -> mysql-server-5.6 -> mysql-server-core-5.6
Will handle the missing.mysql-server-core package

I believe this should be the fix if we cannot get mysql-server-core, making
amarok a litle bloated but again if we don't get mysql-server-core.

Thanks.

[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#815567: Amarok should depend on virtual-mysql-server-core to support MariaDB

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Package: amarok
Severity: grave

On line 
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-kde/kde-extras/amarok.git/tree/debian/control#n20
Amarok defines as build dependency:

Build-Depends-Indep: mysql-server-core-5.6 | mysql-server-core

This should be changed to:

Build-Depends-Indep: mysql-server-core-5.6 | virtual-mysql-server-core

Or if you prefer MariaDB:

Build-Depends-Indep: mariadb-server-core-10.0 | virtual-mysql-server-core

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=793977 Martin
Steigerwald reports he used Akonadi with MariaDB.

It is up to the package maintainer to choose what is the primary
option, but the alternative should be the virtual-* package that is
provided by all variants. In fact you MUST have this
virtual-mysql-server-core to also support any future versions of the
databases, e.g. mysql-server-core-5.7.
