"When I asked you to repost with just a link, I didn't mean also attach the orig email with the 20k spec file that was the reason the mail was too long in the first place."
maybe you should make clearer what you want if you force people to search in their archives because add the SPEC was a niceness from me to explain the rest of my post - my "mariadb.spec" is much smaller as many posts
The moderator gave the following reason for rejecting your request: "Can you file a bug with your suggested mysql improvements, and/or repost this with just a link to your spec. Thanks"
my post contained the SPEC-file which is plaintext and the sources and patches are the same as in the MariaDB src.rpm from koji, and as i said there are a lot of changes besides the Obsoltes/Provides which are far away from fedora guidelines
but however http://access.thelounge.net/harry/mariadb-5.5.29-18.fc18.20130309.rh.src.rpm
the point is: INSTALL "mysql-oracle" under /usr/local and replace/obsolete mysql and all subpackages completly with it and the whole discussion would be done long ago and all the maintaining troubles over the release avoided

File conflicts within the server packages might still be a concern, I don't know. Per the decision quoted above, FESCo would prefer the maintainers of the two servers to agree on a solution.
If the maintainers don't reach a solution or if one of them finds the current proposal unsatisfactory, file a ticket at
and why in the world is this not solved more pragmatically?
my conslusion is * MariaDB will replace mysql as default * any package will be linked against mariadb * Oracle MySQL should only provide the server and not the client-tools
so why is MariaDB not obsoleting mysql without all this versioning tricks and "mysql-oracle" installs the server under "/usr/local/mysql-oracle/" and provides a "mysql-oracle.service"?
the complete packaging would be so much easier like with my own SPEC-file which works fine for F18, yes i know there are a lot of things we do not need removed but take it as sample how a migration could work because it also replaces mysql-5.5.30 while it's own version is 5.5.29
