Hello! I now did this change: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/commit/?id=3ff0aa39825e3f9d0f7232f5bb5ba063f5473edf
The my-default.cnf referred here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.6/+bug/1422391 does not seem to exist in MariaDB, so I am not adding it too. For the rest of the files I won't do anything now, as I prefer not to move around files without a clear motivation. Martin, if you want to confirm that the new mariadb-server-core-10.0 package works, the git head is available for installation here: # Debian unstable, per-package repositories deb http://labs.seravo.fi/~otto/mariadb-repo/ mariadb-10.0-sid-amd64/ deb http://labs.seravo.fi/~otto/mariadb-repo/ mariadb-10.0-sid-i386/ # Debian stable deb http://labs.seravo.fi/~otto/mariadb-repo/ mariadb-10.0-jessie-amd64/ deb http://labs.seravo.fi/~otto/mariadb-repo/ mariadb-10.0-jessie-i386/
