 Description   

While maybe not a huge thing it's a nuisance if during minor version changes packages suddenly change.

On a previously installed CentOS 5 server with MariaDB 5.5.23 server/client/common rpms installed I see that when trying to install the equivalent 5.5.28a packages there's a conflict with an already installed mytop package from a different source:

[root@myhost ~]# rpm -Uvh MariaDB-5.5.28a-centos5-x86_64-{server,client,common}.rpm
 
warning: MariaDB-5.5.28a-centos5-x86_64-server.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1bb943db
 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
 
	file /usr/bin/mytop from install of MariaDB-client-5.5.28a-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mytop-1.4-2.el5.rf.noarch
 
[root@myhost ~]# rpm -Uvh MariaDB-5.5.28a-centos5-x86_64-{server,common}.rpm
 
warning: MariaDB-5.5.28a-centos5-x86_64-server.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1bb943db
 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
 
   1:MariaDB-common         ########################################### [ 50%]
 
   2:MariaDB-server         ########################################### [100%]
 
[root@myhost ~]#

So if you want to provide mytop for the systems you have MariaDB 5.5 on please provide this as a separate package.

If mytop is going to be installed on MariaDB 10 versions that's fine as there's no change, but don't break upgrades of existing systems as this is a nuisance.

Note: a similar server, running CentOS release 5.4 (Final), which I haven't upgraded to MariaDB 5.5.28a is configured using the following packages:

[root@myhost2 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -E '(MariaDB|mytop)'
 
MariaDB-common-5.5.25-1
 
MariaDB-server-5.5.23-1
 
MariaDB-client-5.5.25-1
 
mytop-1.4-2.el5.rf
 
[root@myhost2 ~]#

So it looks to me as if /usr/bin/mytop was added to MariaDB-client after version 5.5.25-1.
