Important: Please note that openSUSE:Factory/mariadb package uses a classic OBS process and not this repository anymore. This repository is old, for the current state of mariadb package please check OBS.
This repository contains tools which allows one to maintain and develop various MariaDB/MySQL versions that are used in openSUSE Leap and supported by MariaDB or MySQL respectively.
There are multiple folders with the git repository:
- common: contains common content shared among all versions/types
- patches: directory containing various patches for all supported platforms
- {mysql,mariadb}-
<version>: specific overrides for the common settings defined in the above dir
In short you just create changes you desire to do and run make. The packages will be checked out from OBS, refreshed and in the end also build. If all this pass you should commit to git and to all desired OBS projects.
openSUSE released versions are to be kept updated to latest minor branch of the series. In example when doing update for mariadb-10.0.31 you should check what distros have 10.0.something in repository and resubmit to all of those.
