Ah, and you'd like to pehaps include your own InnoDB plugin? If we  
leave 'em enabled, funny thnigs happen with tests and such. As  
Kristian mentioned, it may well be possible to make it work, but it  
was a bit finicky hence this approach for now.

That's a fair question, and perhaps Percona has an answer to that.
I presume that even if it were called XtraDB, the options could still  
also be called innodb_ for backward compatibility.

It's possible (or even likely) that XtraDB using the source names it  
has causes the build problem...

Yep.


Cheers,

Bug description:
ourdelta-mariadb51-2/bakery/debian-5.1/dist/Ubuntu/mariadb-server-5.1.postinst has this:

        "CREATE TABLE plugin (name char(64) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '', " \
        "  dl char(128) COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL DEFAULT '', " \
        "  PRIMARY KEY (name)) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_bin COMMENT='MySQL plugins';\n" \
        "INSERT INTO plugin VALUES ('innodb',    'ha_innodb.so');\n" \
        "INSERT INTO plugin VALUES ('federated', 'ha_federated.so');\n" \
        "INSERT INTO plugin VALUES ('blackhole', 'ha_blackhole.so');\n" \
        "INSERT INTO plugin VALUES ('archive',   'ha_archive.so');" `

But when I unpack all of mariadb .deb files, I find only one plugin - ha_example.so.  innodb, blackhole, archive seem to be compiled statically, federated seems to be compiled dynamically but missing.

The build and postinst script should be brought in sync.
