Hello release team! The meeting minutes from last month gave me the impression that you will eventually ask me to do something regarding MySQL/MariaDB: http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-release/2016/debian-release.2016-01-27-18.59.html
"ACTION: jmw will mail release team and include pkg-mysql-maint about moving to mariadb dependencies" I just wanted to let you know, that I am available to help you with whatever you intend to request. So far I haven't though seen any communication from the release team regarding this topic. What is the status? - Otto Additional details about current dependencies: # Dependency review There are 289 packages that include any mysql-5.6 originated binary package in their dependencies. If libmysqlclient18 is excluded and only actual important Depends is only considered, the list is 50 packages long. # Debian sid 31.1.2016: apt-cache rdepends -i libmysqld-dev libmysqld-pic mysql-client mysql-client-5.6 mysql-client-core-5.6 mysql-common mysql-server mysql-server-5.6 mysql-server-core-5.6 mysql-source-5.6 mysql-testsuite mysql-testsuite-5.6 | grep -v '^[ ]*mysql-' | grep '^ ' | cut -c 3- | sort -u acidbase akonadi-backend-mysql audiolink auth2db-common automysqlbackup bacula-director-mysql beancounter biomaj cqrlog dbconfig-mysql dotclear dpm-name-server-mysql dpm-server-mysql dpsyco-mysql drupal7 jffnms kamailio-mysql-modules lcmaps-plugins-jobrep-admin lfc-server-mysql libmysqlclient18 libreoffice-canzeley-client mariadb-common moodle ndoutils-nagios3-mysql netmrg ocsinventory-reports opendnssec-enforcer-mysql openstack-cloud-services openstack-compute-node pdns-backend-mysql percona-xtrabackup-test phpbb3 phpgacl pinba-engine-mysql-5.6 piwi postfixadmin postfix-cluebringer-mysql redmine-mysql roundcube-mysql rt4-db-mysql scuttle semanticscuttle spotweb sqitch stacks-web webgui wordpress yubikey-ksm yubikey-val zoneminder
