I read about your request for a MariaDB package for Mac OS X on my vacation and did some research. Back from vacation I have an alpha version of MariaDB package for Mac OS X for you and for our community to test. Caution: this is the first installer I wrote on Mac, so do not use it on a production system. Please test the installer and provide us with feedback. Known issues in the MariaDB installer: * The Preferences Pane app for starting/stopping the server instance is missing * The installer for setting up MariaDB as a Startup Item is missing. Side node: while digging into the Mac installer I found two bugs in the MySQL Mac OS X installer. * http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=56279 Mac installer does not work as documented * http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=56280 Mac installer's postflight script does not work all the time You can grab the package from here: http://lisas.de/~hakan/file/mariadb-5.1.49-osx10.6-x86.pkg Best, Hakan -- Hakan Küçükyılmaz, QA/Benchmark Engineer, Stuttgart/Germany Monty Program Ab, http://askmonty.org/ Skype: hakank_ Phone: +49 171 1919839 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss Post to : maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
