Hello! Help offers are still accepted for this one :)
I will be idling on #debian-mysql today and this weekend if you want to chat. I will offer all help I can to the DD who wants to get involved. This could be a nice two hour weekend project for somebody looking to make some cool thing with a big impact. MariaDB 10 is likely to inherit from MySQL the position as the worlds most popular database soon, and a lot of people are going to install it via Debian and derivatives. 2014-03-25 16:28 GMT+02:00 Otto Kekäläinen <o...@seravo.fi>: > Hello! > > I am the packager of MariaDB 5.5 in Debian, which is now in testing.
