Hi all,
I just came across this thread today on the MariaDB discuss list about
the poor stewardship of Oracle with respect to MySQL (and it references
Oracle's track record of poor handling of the FLOSS projects it
inherited when it bought Sun):
https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-discuss/msg00514.html
In it is discussed - among many other things including lots of good
reason *why* - the possibility of replacing MySQL with MariaDB in
anticipation of Oracle's current poor stewardship of MySQL...
My question is - shouldn't gentoo be considering this move as well?
I've been seriously considering this for my own servers for some time,
and after reading this, I think it is time to stop thinking about it and
just do it, but I'm a bit nervous - ianap, and don't want to shoot
myself in the foot in the process.
Anyone here ever done the switch want to share their experience?
