--- Comment #11 from Honza Horak hhorak@redhat.com --- Sorry for quite long delay, but I've finally found time to get back to this. However, after consulting with another packagers it seems much better to not use completely new SPEC file and packaging mariadb from scratch, but we should rather work on existing mysql.spec instead. There are several reasons:
1. there are many things we really need in mariadb.spec and that are already in mysql.spec (like test suite run, proper build requires, ...) 2. admins will probably better accept a new package if it's as much similar as the previous one 3. patches - most of them are still valid even for mariadb source (but I got rid of some)
So I've done changes in mysql.spec and converted it to mariadb.spec, which is available here together with SRPM:
Spec URL: http://hhorak.fedorapeople.org/mariadb-review/mariadb.spec SRPM URL: http://hhorak.fedorapeople.org/mariadb-review/mariadb-5.5.28a-4.fc18.src.rpm
No all tests pass during the build currently, so the test build doesn't break if test suite fails. What is important, the tests suite works fine after install, so the failing tests are only build-time problem.
Anyway, I'm currently assigned as a reviewer, but I'd rather take over the packaging work, if you don't mind, Renich. Then I'd need someone else to do the package review actually, since it wouldn't be good to do the review on own work.
So we can simply switch the roles (which means you would be the reviewer) or I can ask someone else to do that, in case you're not feeling comfortable with that. What do you think?
