Here is a new port of MariaDB. MariaDB is a fork of MySQL maintained in the open. The development environment is so much better than what has become of MySQL AB since Oracle took over Sun. They deal with security issues in a much better manner and don't try to hide the tickets or any details regarding the issues. Bugs are fixed much quicker and tickets in general are dealt with in a much better manner. MariaDB 5.5 will replace the current MySQL 5.1 port for the next release.
Here is the port and a diff to adjust the tree to move over to MariaDB. The only port I haven't touched is xmysql as it doesn't build with newer MariaDB or MySQL. It's old unmaintained cruft and I'm planning on removing it. http://comstyle.com/ports/mariadb/ If you're a MySQL user or have expressed interest in MariaDB please test and provide any feedback regarding testing and/or the port. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
