I did an update yesterday and with zypper's or yast's 'magic' the 'update' deleted mysql from my system and replaced it with 'MariaDB'. I sure in the heck didn't tell it to do that. Somebody at Novell included code somewhere that says "On the next update, delete mysql and replace it with MariaDB -- and don't make it obvious to the user."
Novell ???
Are you grasping straws? Or just flailing out where-ever?
I know, this discussion is hilarious to witness.
People, your systems were not changed by any mystery. Novell did not make any such arbitrary disruptive change to your system. OpenSUSE 11.2 updates repo still has mysql and no mariadb in it.
That means if your system changed to mariadb during an update, it was because you ASKED for this to happen by adding some other repo to your install sources, and then performed a blind update instead of of reviewing the proposed update.
So, you went out of your way to add some external repo, and then you used it irresponsibly, and then you accused Novell of breaking your system. This is why big companies remove freedoms from the rest of us. Thanks.
Oh contrair BKW, With a massive update-all, and no asking for Maria, she appeared out of the light like a moth drawn to a flame. While I did have the obs-database repository activated, on investigation, is still contains both mysql and mariadb. There is logic somewhere that was inserted that says mariadb=mysql or my system would have never pulled in a package on 'update' that was not previously 'installed' before.
