--- Comment #3 from Erik Bernhardson <[email protected]> --- There are not any large differences i'm aware of that would make the difference, i suppose i should have left out the part about dev/prod matching as its still a large difference. Mostly i was just surprised to find mysql being used rather than mariadb as it is the "more free" one ;-) The reason i noticed isn't so relevant, i was investigating various possible distributed id generation systems. One system documented by instagram involves ms timestamps. Mariadb has ms timestamps, mysql doesnt. But this isn't really relevant to normal development work mostly just investigating something there. Not sure how hard it would be in puppet, one possible install method is adding a ppa and installing the mariadb-server package. The mariadb package uses the same config files and same database files in same paths, in a quick test it replaced the mysql5.5-server and loaded up its data files no problem. sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0xcbcb082a1bb943db sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mariadb/repo/5.5/ubuntu precise main' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mariadb-server This uses all the same config files, etc. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
