I see you've bumped the epoch of the MariaDB packages to force MariaDB as default when both MySQL and MariaDB provide mysql-server. We've tested it, and it seems to do the trick.

Could you rename the MySQL packages to mysql-community-* instead of community-mysql-*? That way the prefix aligns with the product name and OpenSuSE's prefix.

How do we get push access to the git repo? It would be great to get 5.6 in before the test day on April 30.
