Title: Linux distributions dump MySQL.
Post by: Johnny54 on March 26th, 2013, 04:28 PM

Wasn't sure where to put this.

I just read that Slackware, Arch and  Fedora 19 dump MySQL in favor of MariaDB. OpenSuse 12.3 makes MariaDB default and MySQL an option.
There's a chance more distributions will follow.
You probably already know this.

Will this have any influence on Wedge?

It should have no difference on us since Maria is supposed to be a MySQL drop-in replacement, like Percona is. All the time that's the case, there will be no difference.

I'd already heard this too, but until I start seeing this in the wild - I have yet to see anyone actually running MariaDB on production servers, though I have seen Percona on a few servers - I can't really say for sure what difference it will make to anyone.

Isn't MariaDB what Wikipedia has been using, these days...?

I have no idea, wouldn't surprise me though.

It happened a few weeks ago. I'm sure I read a news about it.
As long as it answers your question... ;)
