hi guys,
quick start:
drop http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/mariadb/mariadb.repo into
/etc/yum.repos.d/ and yum list mariadb\*
This is adapted from the Fedora spec adapted by Johnny for CentOS-6 and
upgraded to 5.5.29; we have done some basic testing on these packages
and they worked for us. We are now looking for wider testing and
feedback about both the packaging, the payload and how its setup as well
as any build issues.
These packages are setup to replace MySQL on your machine, so be
careful. And we consider these rpms to be of Testing grade, unsuiteable
for production at this point.
Post feedback as follow up to this email, or at bugs.centos.org/
Regards,

hi,
Over the years, we have had a silent group of people, who have helped,
promoted, contributed code, helped QA, helped in various other parallel
efforts that all bring together the CentOS Ecosystem. Its time we did
something to promote these people, make them visible and to give them
credit for the work and efforts they have been putting in. After all, a
large chunk of reward for open source efforts is recognition.
To this end, I'd like to propose the CentOS VIP effort. A draft overview
is posted here : http://wiki.centos.org/KaranbirSingh/VIP
A key takeaway from this is that this group would in effect take over
running most of the project activities, with the CentOS Core team now
back tracking to running admin and project specific tasks ( eg. making
sure the centos.org domain name is paid for and renewed! ).
I am looking for comments on things to add / remove / change, as well as
a couple of voulenteers to help run the infra around this effort.

I had a conversation on IRC regarding torrents and trackers for centos
and the terasaur.org project. This is a note, so the group can get in
touch with me.
Thanks,
