hi, i put together a mariadb rpm for el6. it seem to be much more complicated then i thought.
the sources was: - Karanbir's mariadb for centos6 5.5.29 http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/mariadb/ unfortunately the link disappear a few days ago but i've got the src.rpm - rhel7 mariadb-5.5.33a-3.el7.src.rpm - fedora's mariadb-5.5.35-4.fc21.src.rpm - rhel6's scl's mariadb55-mariadb-5.5.35-1.1.el6.src.rpm
the problem doesn't seems to complicated but after a few hours i hope we created a good rpm which can update the previous el6's mysql packages.
the packages are here: http://lfarkas.org/linux/packages/redhat/6/mariadb/ regards.
