[Maria-discuss] Issue with MariaDB-server-5.5.54-1.el6.x86_64

Hi, Today I have updated a CentOS 6.8 system that has MariaDB-server installed from http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos6-amd64 and found that I had an SELinux issue when I tried to restart the service. Using the information at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux I have created a local policy that seems to fix things module marialocal 1.0; require { type mysqld_safe_t; class capability { setuid setgid }; } #============= mysqld_safe_t ============== allow mysqld_safe_t self:capability setgid; allow mysqld_safe_t self:capability setuid; This seems to fix things for me, but I thought I had better see if others are experiencing the same problem ? It may be useful to know that the particular rpms are MariaDB-server-5.5.54-1.el6.x86_64 and selinux-policy-3.7.19-292.el6_8.2.noarch. If it is a bigger issue than just myself, should I report this somewhere else to see if we can get a fix added to the next MariaDB-server rpm ? Thanks

[Maria-discuss] Fwd: Update of RPM layout

Hello all, I went through an idea [1] to lighten the server package. I tested it, and I found out, I can save about 40MB of space, if I'd move all Perl utilites to a standalone subpackage. It would make sense to move them, so the users don't need to install Perl with the server package. Especially in technologies like containers (or cloud images) size matters. It all depends on how often are those utilities [2] used together with the server, sice we don't want to displace importatnt scripts. In case, it would look like a good idea, there is also option to move to this subpackage other - infrequently used - utilities. -> Q: Hey, Users and Admins, which utilities do you think are essential for the server? Note: It can be solved by soft dependencies, so those utils would be installed with the server by default.
