Comment 2 Jacques Pronchery 2012-01-05 10:19:59 CET
MariaDB works fine.
But it is to be regretted that there is nothing for explain that MySQL is replaced by MariaDB.
When searching MySQL there are many packages with "mysql" but no database !...
Is it possible to add the word "mysql" with mariadb ?

if you do something like "urpmi mysql", it will install mariadb because mysql is a provide

where do you search for mysql?

there is planned a sort of short message on some webpages which explain the important changes regarding previous version, i still have to do that

Maybe virtual package should be created. That has description about what's going on and it would install mariadb main server package. This way it would show up in GUI. I'm not sure GUI is able to find provides.

Comment 5 Jacques Pronchery 2012-01-05 22:52:42 CET
When I want to install MySQL I write "mysql" in the search line in MCC
and then I choose packages.
A virtual package seems a good idea.
Comment 6 AL13N 2012-01-05 23:36:18 CET
ah, in rpmdrake...

it does not work, indeed...

what if i would make a mysql-MariaDB virtual package? would that satisfy your needs?
Comment 7 Jacques Pronchery 2012-01-06 10:21:52 CET
Yes, I use rpmdrake. I think many users do not know urpmi and use only MCC.
I have not found how to make a research on a word with urpmi.

Yes , a virtual package will satisfy me.

can you test again after your mirror has synced with new mariadb?
Comment 10 Jacques Pronchery 2012-01-06 17:50:15 CET
Excuse me but I did not know urpmq.

Yes "urpmi mysql" install mariadb
but if searching with "urmpq -a mysql" there is not mariadb
and for the other commands is the same.

With a virtual package all works.
Comment 11 AL13N 2012-01-06 20:02:56 CET
can anyone else test the virtual package too? see if it can be found? then if the documentation is put, i think we can close this issue?

I had found the virtual package mysql-MariaDB with urmpq -a mysql and rpmdrake.
It works OK but with rpmdrake at the end of install there is not the message for password.
Comment 13 AL13N 2012-01-07 11:45:14 CET
normally, one gets the message only once. when updating from mysql, or installing from new.

I can confirm that, when looking in MCC for mysql, mysql-MariaDB shows up nicely with "A MySQL drop-in replacement" summary under it. When selecting it, it says that to satisfy dependencies.....also need to be installed:
- mariadb-<version>
- mariadb-extra-<version>

(Can't c&p because I'm looking at my cauldron, not typing on it)

Or do you want me to check whether it installs fine, too?

Comment 15 AL13N 2012-01-23 22:17:47 CET
no, this is really about the message now.

upgrading from mysql -> mariadb (or new install) should give the message (about mariadb and how you're supposed to start it and set a password) once, and every update thereafter not again

so, either someone tests again, or original person closes as WORKSFORME or just closing OLD.

or someome has info if that message doesn't appear in those cases, in which case i'll take a look.
Comment 16 Marja Van Waes 2012-01-23 22:25:58 CET
no upgrade, new install: the message appears

I can't test updating, of course
Comment 17 AL13N 2012-01-23 22:27:32 CET
good enough for me, unless someone objects, this can be closed.

so closing
