After having a look at the code, I think there are two issues with
regards to making it work with mysql as opposed to just switching the
dependency:
- cqrlog relies on mysqld self-initializing the data directory as part of a
normal startup, but MySQL now requires a separate run of mysqld --initia
To be clear:
MySQL and MariaDB remain broadly compatible. Ubuntu has maintained its
status quo in defaulting to MySQL since before MariaDB existed. Users
expect consistency, and this means that packages in Ubuntu should
default to using MySQL over MariaDB unless the user has explicitly
chosen othe
If changing the CQRLOG MySQL Server dependency to depend on MariaDB
specifically instead of the meta package is not suitable for Ubuntu,
then I think that it will be better to remove the cqrlog package from
the Ubuntu repository instead of shipping a completely broken one.
It is very clearly state

someone’s going to need to revert the change in the package that’s been

working or work with upstream to understand why they’re choosing to
depend on mariadb

In Ubuntu, we default to MySQL. I think switching to MariaDB by default
requires exceptional justification, such as the upstream and codebase
very clearly not being able to func
