Hello,

I got assigned to look at the rpm packaging and fixed some stuff there, but got 
stuck at the "Monty Program AB" vendor check in support-files/rpm/server-
prein.sh when I wanted to replace the fedora packages with in this case 
mariadb galera packages.

Is this check absolutely nessesary?

This prevents you from an easy switch from the fedora mariadb packages to the 
ones provided by mariadb using yum and a yum repository as provided at 
http://yum.mariadb.org/.

Basically this check prevents me from doing any serious work with the rpm 
packages because you manually have to, by force deinstall any conflicting 
packages and then install the packages provided by us.

Cheers.
