    Description

      I notice the maxscale rpms have names such as:

      • maxscale-1.2.0-x86_64-rhel6.rpm

      You can see the actual version and rpm release number by doing this:

      $ rpm -qip maxscale-1.2.0-x86_64-rhel6.rpm
      warning: maxscale-1.2.0-x86_64-rhel6.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 8167ee24: NOKEY

      Summary : MaxScale
      Description :
      The MariaDB Corporation MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of
      database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules,
      a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of
      the various servers within the backend cluster of databases.

      MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability
      functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides
      a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to
      support different protocols and routing decisions.
      $

      So normally it would be good to see the package name as: maxscale-1.2.0-1.x86_64-rhel6.rpm or similar. If the packaging gets updated but the actual maxscale code does not change then you'd generate a new rpm: maxscale-1.2.0-2.x86_64-rhel6.rpm and something like that might be nice for MXS-302. Otherwise it's impossible to distinguish different rpms etc.

      Note: both MariaDB and MaxScale have "odd" rpm file names which is rather confusing. It's much easier if they follow the typical <name><version><release>.<arch>.rpm type structure which everyone else uses.
