 Good question. There are a few bugs and blueprints about it, and they
 show as *implemented*

 What happened, then?

It has been implemented on the Ubuntu side for a while. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

I just switched back to Debian but haven't had the need to see what is
going on with ddebs -- till now!

You can see the rationale here:
http://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages

Packages are hosted on http://debug.debian.net/

Yes, it's implemented and works well. I use it on Wikimedia servers
when I need debug symbols for stock packages. My only gripe is that it
would be nice to have awareness of the feature in higher-level tools
like apt and synaptic, to allow installation of the debug symbols of
any package without slowing down apt-get update or cluttering up the
synaptic package list. I'm thinking something similar to apt-get
source.

The Debian habit of adding -dbg packages to some fraction of binary
packages also clutters the package list, but with an architecture that
makes apt/synaptic support unlikely.

For packages that we build ourselves, it's easier to just disable
stripping.

Umm there was a thread several months ago about how it is used on several
of the slave dbs, if I recall.

 Hi,

 I have installed Maria DB to all my servers, including production servers
 few weeks ago, and I found it quite stable and I like it (even the command
 line tool for working with sql is far better than the one included in mysql
 pack)

 It's supported on all latest ubuntu versions from 10.04 UP (maybe even
 older) - so my question is, are we going to use it on wikimedia production?

 I think we could migrate beta cluster for now - it has terrible performance
 and this could help. It could be a first step to migrate wikimedia
 production cluster.

Indeed, you're looking for mariadb 5.5 in production for english wikipedia

Okay - so what is outcome? Should we migrate beta cluster? Are we going to
use it in production?

At the risk of derailing the conversation to an unrelated subject, I would
rather work on finding a way to keep the db on beta cluster up to date
rather than migrate to a whole different SQL implementation that is still
not correct.  https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36228

2013-02-13 Thread Ryan Lane
As far as I know we're using a custom mariadb version in production, not
the ubuntu version. It would be ideal to use the same versions for
everything, but just switching out to MariaDB isn't going to solve anything
for us.

Also, we're not using MariaDB everywhere in production. We're using a mix
of MySQL and MariaDB. Let's not change anything till we know how that's
going to work out in production.
