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:
- replace MySQL completely
- Have a parallel install with default port :3307
- 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.
Won't (and shouldn't) that be a problem for any repository with a policy of "don't replace core packages"?
