Please, you should first ask on the ML with a proper subject like &quot;[RFC] 
replace mysql by mariadb for mga 2 ?&quot; and don't hide this 
choice/question in a thread where you announce that mariadb is available 
for testing. And wait at least one week, so that people have time to reply.

Do you know some distribution that have done this replacement?

I just quickly look at 3 main distributions;
- Fedora doesn't seem to have mariadb,
- OpenSuse has mariadb, but still builds there packages againt mysql,
- Debian doesn't seem to have mariadb.
<A HREF="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565308">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565308</A>

and this replacement doesn't seem to be so easy as you claim:
e.g. <A HREF="http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284810">http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284810</A>

Do you agree to fix all the bugs introduced by the replacement of mysql 
by mariadb?


When this was discussed a first time on this list, Nicolas Vigier 
proposed to start with mariadb as an alternative:
&quot;I would start with mariadb as an alternative. Then drop mysql later,
if/when it's confirmed that mysql is really dead and we could check
that mariadb is a good replacement.&quot;
<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110408/003919.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110408/003919.html</A>

I agree with this, and I think that it's still a sensible choice.

regards,
Luc
