[Maria-developers] The "Monty Program AB" vendor check (rpm)
Hello, I got assigned to look at the rpm packaging and fixed some stuff there, but got stuck at the "Monty Program AB" vendor check in support-files/rpm/server- prein.sh when I wanted to replace the fedora packages with in this case mariadb galera packages. Is this check absolutely nessesary? This prevents you from an easy switch from the fedora mariadb packages to the ones provided by mariadb using yum and a yum repository as provided at http://yum.mariadb.org/. Basically this check prevents me from doing any serious work with the rpm packages because you manually have to, by force deinstall any conflicting packages and then install the packages provided by us. Cheers.

Nobody replied. Apparently nobody knows or cares :)

Okay, let's remove it. Regards, Sergei

I think it was added back in the day when we had to "upgrade" from the ourdelta repositories

I'm pretty sure they can be removed now
