GenomicFeatures_1.31.3 imports RMySQL.
I'm having great trouble installing RMySQL from source on a recent MacOS

The package's homepage says "The 'RMySQL' package contains an old
implementation based on legacy code from S-PLUS which being phased out.
A modern 'MySQL' client based on 'Rcpp' is available from the 'RMariaDB'
package" https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/index.html
So is it time to heed that advice and migrate GenomicFeatures to RMariaDB ?
Out of curiosity, is MariaDB easier to install on your system? Its
system dependencies are described at
https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RMariaDB
FWIW MySQL is a relatively recent addition as a dependency to
GenomicFeatures; it enables `makeTxDbFromEnsembl()`, which is probably a
much more stable solution than `makeTxDbFromBiomart()`. On the other had
Johannes does an excellent job on the ensembldb packages, so perhaps
this code could really be conditional with the RMySQL dependency moved
