I did a lot of tests regarding PHP and so far everything just works fine; I switched archlinux.de to mariadb 17 days ago. Recent PHP version don't even use the mysql client libraries, but their own implementation mysqlnd. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

[arch-dev-public] [announcement draft] MariaDB replaces MySQL in repositories
With `mysql 5.5.30-7` in [extra], all packages depending on it have been rebuilt against MariaDB counterparts. MariaDB is [almost](https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/) a drop-in replacement, but not automatic one. Users may need to manually install `mariadb`, `libmariadbclient` or `mariadb-clients` and execute `mysql_uprade` in order to migrate their systems. Additionally, there is another MySQL fork available in [community], `percona-server`, which should be closer to Oracle MySQL Enterprise in exchange for new features provided by MariaDB. More background information can be found on [mailing list](https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2013-February/024478.html). MySQL will be dropped from repositories in a month. Migration example # systemctl stop mysqld # pacman -S mariadb libmariadbclient mariadb-clients # systemctl start mariadb # mysql_upgrade -p -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Migration example # systemctl stop mysqld # pacman -S mariadb libmariadbclient mariadb-clients # systemctl start mariadb # mysql_upgrade -p -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/ MariaDB is now officially our default implementation of MySQL. MariaDB is [almost](https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/) a drop in replacement, so an upgrade should be possible with minimum hassle. However, due to remaining compatibility concerns, an automatic replace is not done. It is recommended for all users to upgrade. MySQL will be dropped from the repositories to the AUR in a month. Users who want to switch will need to install `mariadb`, `libmariadbclient` or `mariadb-clients` and execute `mysql_upgrade` in order to migrate their systems. Migration example: # systemctl stop mysqld # pacman -S mariadb libmariadbclient mariadb-clients # systemctl start mysqld # mysql_upgrade -p `percona-server` is another MySQL fork available in [community]. It should be closer to Oracle MySQL Enterprise, but is missing the new features included in MariaDB. Together with `mysql 5.5.30-7` in [extra], all packages depending on it have been rebuilt against their MariaDB counterparts. Other package maintainers should move their dependencies to the MariaDB packages.
