 Description   

According to the instructions here:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/getting-started/binary-packages/rpm/yum/

Users have to manually edit their distribution's yum configuration to enable MariaDB's yum repository.

It would be a little more user-friendly and easier to automate if an RPM were available to enable the yum repository for a particular MariaDB version and distribution.

A good example of how this would work is the way PostgreSQL does it. If I want to install PostgreSQL 9.3 on CentOS 6, I can enable the repository and install the software simply with:

bash

 
wget http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm
 
sudo rpm -ivh pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm
 
sudo yum install postgresql93 postgresql93-server postgresql93-libs postgresql93-devel

I've been told that this probably can't be done until MariaDB's yum repository uses the standard URL hierarchy.
