Some news outlets are reporting that Red Hat are swapping out MySQL for MariaDB/SkySQL.

2020-02-13 10:50 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Note: Jira 7.x does not support MariaDB:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver0713/supported-platforms-964983071.html

Jira will not work on:
- 4 byte characters, regardless of MySQL version
- MariaDB nor PerconaDB

But really we should be using REST web service instead of SOAP, XML-RPC or direct database connections.

2020-02-13 10:55 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Once we switch to the REST API (see bug 7409) for Jira and Bugzilla, we no longer need to worry about them 
- so it's just about Audit.

So making this dependant in bug 7409.

2020-04-24 10:40 AEST by Arthur Barrett - As noted in bug 6979 - rhel7 ships mariadb libmysqlclient that is API compatible with MySQL.

So our rhel7 build is linked to mariadb, but using the old mysql calls.

But I don't think that we should consider this 'fixed'.  As explained here - the future MariaDB 10 (including 
rhel8) is for mariadb to have its own library:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1516482

So really we have 2 items:
- linking the mysql cvsnt driver to mariadb 5.5 (bug7429)
- a new  mariadb cvsnt driver (this bug 6707)

This bug is about the later 'a new  mariadb cvsnt driver'

At the moment the mysql/mariadb is only on rhel7 - but I propose we could add it to the 'new' windows 
version too (compiled for win8/10 only) see bug 7429.

We've announced that we'll do a 'plugin update' for this 'CVS Suite new' in the following quarter.

So I think this mariadb 10 support should be included in that, but the mariadb 5.5 support could be included 
in the 'first' release.
