(requires alternatives to be in Main) - unique source package for all alternatives - parallel instalation of alternatives == ACTIONS == Find a way to package and MariaDB! - MySQL 5.5 into Debian and Oneiric Soon - Change mysql-server to a virtual package which depends on mysql-server-5.5 | percona-server-5.5 | mariadb-server-5.5 ? - Drizzle is probably enoug of a fork that it cannot be included in the 'mysql-server' depends - libmysqlclient should come from upstream - What about plugins like XtraBackup and Handlersocket? = Comments = * Dont forget to do rebuilds for the newer libmysqlclient16 to libmysqlclient17.
