Hi,
I downloaded -current as of November 6 @ 11:26 and installed it. I'm
doing a "test run" upgrading my system & started to install required
packages.
At first, I thought the snapshot wasn't complete as I couldn't find the
mysql server. After a bit of head scratching, I went onto the cvsweb (
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/mysql/ )
and noticed that mysql has been moved to the "Attic". Putting 2+2
together, I found the mariadb port.
I had checked the FAQ ( http://www.openbsd.org/faq/current.html ) before
I started this upgrade, but there is no mention of mysql being retired &
mariadb being the preferred replacement.
I realize that not everything makes the "-current" FAQ, but after
looking at the list of things in the -current FAQ, I felt that the
retiring of mysql & use of mariadb was worthy of mentioning.
If not, at least this email is now in the archives.
Thanks,
Steve Williams
