hi Guys,

There seems to be a bit of interest in making MariaDB available in CentOS-Extras. There are a few options on how we set it up by default:

1. replace MySQL completely
2. Have a parallel install with default port :3307
3. split the package by configs and have a config that replaces mysql,

sets port :3306 while the default install is a parallel install ( /var/log/maraidb and port 3307 )

+1 for a complete replace. I doubt that anyone would use both servers in the same time on the same machine, except maybe for evaluation purposes. Option 3 is more elegant but I do not think that it's worth the effort
