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,

Just for the record and not directly related to these packages: a friend of mine tested mariadb under production-like load and the results were less then satisfactory. Using mariadb 5.5.27 on a 64bit squeeze led to backtrace in mysql.log + restart when using "ALTER" on tables with 3 rows and 4 columns which was serving data at 80 Mbps. The log became damaged as well on the second attempt of using ALTER.

Hopefully the above was reported upstream..
I have been using MariaDB repo from mariadb.org, but I'll use this for our next QA server build. Is CentOS anticipating that some "prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor" will eventually be replacing MySQL for MariaDB like Fedora plans to do? Just curious.

I don't know for sure with CentOS-5 and CentOS-6 ... but certainly if mariadb is the default in Fedora, it will eventually be the default in RHEL as well.

FYI MariaDB has been built for EPEL5 and EPEL6 being maintained by the Fedora maintainer so a CentOS built package may not be needed in future:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875150
RHEL6.5 and RHEL7 should be very interesting ;)

the next release feature tag has been tracked into rawhide for next fedora release. And unless there is a policy change in EPEL, its not going to suiteable for there either. Look here : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReplaceMySQLwithMariaDB
The bit that we are keen to drive towards is to bring this into place now, for people who want to make the switch - or to try and see if we can get a parallel install in place as well ( similarly percona-db is being worked on too )

The EPEL 5 and 6 packages have been built in Koji - they'll probably be in the EPEL repos in the next 48 hours or so...
Parallel install looks like it'd have to be built by CentOS as from what I can see the intention remains upstream to replace an existing install still.

Where do you see this ? Also where do you see the EPEL policy change that allows them to ship things that over write base packages ?

I'm on my tablet and and about but if you search mariadb on koji you can see (and download) packages now.
They aren't overwriting - but they will conflict with mysql if you choose to install them.
On the bugzilla entry Horza talks about testing a 5.1->5.5 upgrade using them on EL platforms which seems interesting in and of itself... But regardless of that they will still be built for EPEL and have RH maintainers (horza and tom lane handling it).

This could be a very slippery slope. Lets see what comes from that; is there any precidence to this sort of a policy ?

Over the last few months, I've been in touch with various people, at Fedora and at MariaDB and this is not what the messaging from them was - but none the less, a great opportunity to share the responsibility and coorporate towards a common goal.
Our builds are forked from Honza Horak's work.

I suppose the closest thing to it was the OpenOffice/LibreOffice situation.

Good to know :-)
I'm on WiFi again now... Here's the builds:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=15262
They were only done today so might be some other stuff in the background going on I guess...

Thank you for creating these packages. Would it be possible to include the Galera clustering part too, similar to the package set offered on mariadb.org?
Cheers, Patrick

I'll try and investigate. In the mean time if someone else wants to jump in and help, please feel free to do so

Thanks. I dug some deeper and checked their mariadb, mariadb-galera and galera packages and they are not build from a single source. That looks like quite some extra work so please consider this just a nice to have.
