Message: Noone is interested in maintaining this anymore. How much extra work is it to maintain MySQL for Tumbleweed? MySQL must be maintained for SLES and Leap anyway. MySQL is not available in SLES 12
Therefore your assumption that MySQL must be maintained for SLES and Leap is invalid, Dominique's point remains: If someone wishes to maintain a MySQL package in the openSUSE distributions, someone needs to do the work. No, MySQL is officially available for SLES 12: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
These packages are not 'offical' SUSE or openSUSE packages They are provided by Oracle/MySQL, from Oracle/MySQL servers. If you want Oracle to add Tumbleweed support to their packages, I would suggest you contact them.
The Oracle and SUSE/openSUSE MySQL repositories are connected, because all are based on the same Gibhub project. The build service repositories use generated RPM files from this project: https://github.com/openSUSE/mysql-packaging
I do not see how you establish a link between the mysql-packaging github project. I am under the impression that generator is used to generate our mariadb specfile used for our mariadb packages in openSUSE. If the rpms produced by Oracle/MySQL on the URL you provided above also use the same generator, that's cool, but shouldn't be read that they somehow magically become official SUSE/openSUSE packages in that case. The only official source of SUSE packages is SUSE's repositories, and the only official source of openSUSE packages is openSUSE's repositories, each signed with the respective GPG key of their respective organisations.
I would take over this work, but last time I had some problems with the generation scripts, so I would need some more experience with them.
Well I think it would be cool if you try, you definitely need to be sure about the details of what you're getting yourself into. Good luck! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
