This doesn't solve all the issues -- if package like akonadi-mysql says "Requires: mysql-server", then Oracle MySQL either wouldn't satisfy that requirement or (in case it includes "Provides: mysql-server") RPM choosing behavior would be ambiguous.
so why is MariaDB not obsoleting mysql without all this versioning tricks and "mysql-oracle" installs the server under "/usr/local/mysql-oracle/" and provides a "mysql-oracle.service"?
This is simply not possible in Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#No_Files_or_Directories_under_.2Fsrv.2C_.2Fopt.2C_or_.2Fusr.2Flocal Honza -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
