- Include a link to the relevant KB article for more info
- Use spaced around the equal sign for better readability and so that
the examples are more aligned with the general style in the KB
- Load plugins with just the base name, the .so is optional and excess
- Remove unnecessary unused files
- Remove duplicate encryption configuration sample from sources and
re-use the identical file in RPM directory instead
- Clean away harmful "default-character-set = utf8mb4" from client config
as it is unnecassary (server enforces utf8mb4 anyway by default) and
could cause issues with mysqlbinlog and other tools (MDEV-22981).
- Update S3 plugin description to be long enough
- Remove trailing whitespace from support-files and Debian packaging.
- Clean away fixed Lintian issues
- Clean away temporary Salsa-CI fixes now that 10.5.4 is out and is fixed
- Apply wrap-and-sort -a -v
Split the big my.cnf into multiple smaller files with the same filenames
and contents as official Debian/Ubuntu packaging has.
The config contents stays the same apart from following additions
which the original MariaDB upstream configs had and probably needs
to be kept:
- lc-messages=en_US and skip-external-locking in server config
Configs the original MariaDB upstream had that are seemingly
unnecessary and thus removed:
- port=3306 removed from the client config
- log_warnings=2 removed from server config
Also adopt update-alternatives system using
mysql-common/configure-symlinks. This way it is aligned with
downstream Debian/Ubuntu packaging.
I want to avoid that upgrades silently change important config parameters
that users have come to rely on. This could happen if users changed their
my.cnf themselves, and then an upgrade introduces mariadb.cnf which silently
overrides the settings in my.cnf. Avoid this by having mariadb.cnf mostly
empty for now, and in the future we can add just new mariadb-specific
options there that do not break existing installations.
mysql-common and places mariadb-specific stuff in /etc/mysql/conf.d/mariadb.cnf.
This should allow to co-exist with default Debian mysql-common package and
help resolve dependencies when installing mariadb among multiple available
versions of MySQL from different repositories.
