Hello,
I'd like to know more about some files, that are left after MariaDB build
in Fedora.
I do not ship them, however I haven't found any explanation from previous
maintainers. I gathered some clues and thoughts about them.



Questions are: What are those files and what they does?; Is it safe to ship
them?; Should I start to ship them?

/usr/bin/mysql_embedded
 - you (MariaDB) ship this file in client package

%{_datadir}/mariadb/binary-configure
 - this script creates the MySQL system tables and starts the server.

%{_datadir}/mariadb/magic
 - FS files first-bytes recoginiton?

%{_datadir}/mariadb/mysql.server
%{_datadir}/%{pkg_name}/mysqld_multi.server
 - those shouldn't be needed on systemd OSs ?

/usr/bin/mytop
 - you (mariaDB) do not ship this file
