Maybe. Only a part of users run Galera. Feel free to do this suggestion in a for or a Merge Request. Running the CI as part of the Merge Request will also help you discover potential regressions of this change. I am not sure we have any Galera tests in our mysql-test-run/autopkgtests or in the Salsa-CI pipeline. Probably not, as it would require running several mariadbd instances and testing the communication between them. Upstream does have some automatic Galera testing in their pipeline: http://buildbot.askmonty.org/buildbot/grid?branch=10.5&category=main&category=experimental At the moment the Galera packaging in Debian inherits form what it was in upstream when in MariaDB 10.1 the Galera code was merged into the main server and became a standard feature. I am keeping a close eye on all Merge Requests at https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team and I promise to review anything you send within 24 hours now so we can get the final improvements into Bullseye. - Otto
