PostgreSQL is still there, MySQL has been replaced with MariaDB in most distributions (including OpenMandriva and Mageia). MariaDB is a fork of MySQL by the original MySQL developers, after MySQL was bought by Oracle.
Thereās plenty of reasons to prefer MariaDB over MySQL, virtually none to go the other way.
Iām oldā¦LOL thanks for the update .
I donāt see a way to run MariaDB on a terminal and build a database like mysql used to be , is there a way to do
that from the command line ?
Maybe I do not understand too well but it worksā¦ For example, find an application with a .rpm package, e.g. GoogleChrome or Opera. Download the .rpm package and run the installer with a double click. You can also use konsole/terminal urpmi packagexyz.rpm and it is installed.
Well. It is not always possible to add proprietary software for licensing reasons.
Once I thought of a similar embodiment. Namely, creating several packages for proprietary applications, such as Spotify. In packages, add only a simple script to download the official package spotify.deb, unpack and copy /bin and /share to system dir. Then create shortcuts. Something like the old get-skype. Without breaking the license. I do not know if this is possible but certainly worth considering. Unfortunately, you need time and people to do it and care for this /
Hint: Read this thread and then read the Cooker list on this forum and read the logs of TC-meetings. You would think you are reading about two entirely different groups of people like two separate organizations or something.
There was no meeting on 23rd. It was cancelled because the meet-bot āchwidoā was misbehaving. Now āchwidoā is just gone. All kind of strange.
What āchwidoā was doing was it hijacked the IRC channel and kept logging in and quitting every minute or every 2 minutes so communication was very difficult.
Edit: I could have been more specific. I meant to read logs of some of the most recent TC-meetings. Which are here.
@bero is going to un-ban chwido but if chwido starts doing that thing where he logs in and leaves every minute then the ban will return. We need to get fixed what ever is causing that behavior as it ruins communication on that channel. But I donāt have a clue as to the cause at one time I thought maybe @fedya knew, or maybe @Colin?
We like chwido very much and want him present @ #openmandriva-cooker. But that coming and leaving every minute is very disruptive. Bad dog chwido!
