https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D277922 Oleksii Samorukov <samm@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |samm@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #27 from Oleksii Samorukov <samm@FreeBSD.org> --- I would like to vote against this change. Let me add some details: > Use MariaDB since FreeBSD 10 on all installations instead of MySQL: with = exim+dovecot, Roundcube, Zoneminder, MediaWiki, WordPress, MODX without iss= ues. Amazing. But the same applies to MySQL 8.0, does it not?=20 > Also most Linux distros switched default MySQL to MariaDB many years ago. Very weak argument. > I can prepare patch for Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk, Uses/mysql.mk and can= to try for UPDATING. Sorry, please, no. If someone is willing to use MariaDB, he is free to do s= o.=20 > But MariaDB is more relevant for default at least in open-source and free= projects, IMHO. What are the criteria (behind "because I don't like Oracle")? Both projects= are using OSS licenses, both have active communities and support, and both are behind commercial bodies, after all. There should be a strong reason to make such a switch.=20 I also see downsides: 1. That would force migration from Oracle MySQL to MariaDB. Companies may h= ave support contracts with one of the bodies already as well as tools/software compatible with only one of them (e.g. i am using XtraBackup from Percona) 2. Configuration is not 100% compatible.=20 3. A lot of testing is required to do such switch in the complex environmen= t.=20 To me such change is only reasonable if upstream would die, or change licen= se to non-OSS one or would officially be against FreeBSD port. None of these happened. So why we should make a problems for the users? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
