mariadb rpms should not obsolete mysql?

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Currently mariadb rpms obsolete mysql rpms. This allows the user to install mariadb over the existing mysql installation, without having to uninstall mysql manually first (together with all packages that depend on mysql).

      There are opinions that using "obsolete" in this way is wrong. See, for example, this comment

      We need to study the issue and solve it somehow, if possible.
