[Bug 1336005] Re: akonadi-server too dependent on MySQL and prevent percona instalation

 

Any chance this can also be updated to support MariaDB installations? Or
is there an alternate way for MariaDB to provide virtual-
mysql-[client|server]-core to satisfy akonadi-backend-mysql's
dependencies?

Title:
  akonadi-server too dependent on MySQL and prevent percona instalation

Status in akonadi package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in akonadi source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There are a few serious packaging problems with akonadi:

  1 - akonadi-server depends on akonadi-backend-mysql.
        It can also work with postgresql and sqllite, but mysql is mandatory, it should be optional.

  2 - akonadi-backend depends on either mysql-server-core-5.5 or
  mariadb-server-core-5.5

  2.1 - depending on a specific version of mysql is very bad.  If there is a need for a feature on 5.5, it should be something like:
  mysql-server-core >= 5.5.  As 5.6 has all feature of 5.5, it still cannot be installed.
  The same goes to the clients too.

  2.2 - the percona-server-(server|client) should be added to the mix.
  PPA: http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/5.5/installation/apt_repo.html

  Basically the choice is either use mysql|mariadb 5.5 or no kde.
