Conflicts: mysql-libs does not work, rpms cannot be installed. It fails with

sudo rpm -i rpms/mariadb-5.5.23-linux-i686-client.rpm rpms/mariadb-5.5.23-linux-i686-devel.rpm rpms/mariadb-5.5.23-linux-i686-server.rpm rpms/mariadb-5.5.23-linux-i686-shared.rpm rpms/mariadb-5.5.23-linux-i686-test.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
mysql-libs conflicts with MariaDB-shared-5.5.23-1.i386
mysql-libs conflicts with MariaDB-test-5.5.23-1.i386

apparently you cannot provide something and conflict with it at the same time.

Odd. Can you push and give me a new build with the new name. forget conflicts:mysql-libs

I'll set up a local yum repository to test that against, and if it passes upgrades from mysql, and installs, I will give it the go ahead

Here. With embedded server (not in a new RPM, added to existing ones) and with a new name:

http://terrier.askmonty.org/archive/pack/5.5-serg/build-2196/

rhel5-x86 rpms aren't built (because I've restarted buildbot and it got confused), use centos5 rpms if you need x86.

OK, this is good. This issue can be closed and we should start releasing it.

Now I see this as outstanding:

• no yum repository yet (we have a bug open for this)
• no RHEL6/CentOS6 buildbot host (we can use either one, we don't need both)

Where we differ from mysql and need to document:

• we don't provide mariadb-embedded
• we don't provide the SRPM because CMake doesn't generate it

We should also probably document how someone can make a RPM from a full-checkout of the source.

That is all.

Daniel, make the finalization of the YUM repository according to comments here and RHEL6 buildbot your top priority
