Hi Otto, First of all, thanks so much for maintaining MariaDB within Debian. Don't you think it would be more reasonable if the mariadb-client contained a Provides: mysql-client, rather than changing each and every software dependency in Debian? Adding debian-devel@, as I think it should be discussed more broadly. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo) P.S: Do you know if the MariaDB package in Sid has the capability to run in cluster, like for Galera? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
