I count 22 templates in heat-templates that are written to support
Fedora, Ubuntu, and RHEL; is MariaDB available in those? I do not see
it in Ubuntu 12.10, for example.
I imagine it's a problem for RHEL (can RHEL 7 just get released
already?). Ubuntu is not an issue though, unless they have adopted yum
while I was not looking.
Checking a random sample, they only includes "yum" and "systemd"
sections (no "apt" or "sysvinit") in the metadata, so the purported
support for Ubuntu 10.04 is just due to copy-paste and isn't actually
implemented.
IMO, it would be desirable to not have things like yum or apt appear in the
template explicitly. For many packages it seems like at least the top level
package names (not including distro specific versioning strings) are equal
across distros so when specified in a template it should be possible for a
software deployment hook (which can be distro specific) to figure out how
to install the package.
The package names are different for different distros. The most basic
example is the web server (Debian is apache2, RPM is httpd). I'm not
sure exactly how to rectify the fact that they are different with while
keeping the top level metadata blob that describes which packages to
install limited to one distro.

There is, I thought, one template that does actually support Ubuntu.
Stuff in the "F17" directory is there for a reason.
