 Just fyi I'm actually on of the packagers of mariadb and mysql.

 Replying to [comment:6 rdieter]:
 > OK, looking closer, looks like the problems may actually conflicts
 between mariadb and mysql.

 Yes, they conflict explicitly, all packages conflict including -devel, so
 I don't see the reason why only -devel is included but not the base
 package.

 > mariadb currently Obsoletes mysql, so some if it's packages are no
 longer getting included and multilib'd properly.

 Again, all mariadb packages obsolete the same mysql alternatives, so I'm
 still getting the point why mysql-embedded-devel package should behave in
 a different manner than mysql-embedded.

 > Suggestions include:
 > 1.  drop Obsoletes from mariadb (as long as fedora still provides any
 real package named mysql)
 > 2.  retire 'mysql' package, and re-review and bring back named as
 something else (like real-mysql)
 > 3.  some other better solution ??

 What about 4.: Dropping all 32bit mysql packages from x86_64 repository.
 We have already 32bit mariadb packages instead of them and they should be
 actually used.

 How is the list of multilib packages actually handled? Could I as a
 packager to add or remove multilib packages or you can do it? Or is that
 somehow generated?
