Was there some fixes to the repo? Something has improved, I think!

I can now install as a GUI user would (adding the repo to Yast's GUI interface for 'software repositories' and next search the packages with Yast 'Software Management' GUI). Conflicts with native SuSE MariaDB 10.0.13 packages are now detected and resolved. Some imperfections still though:

* I needed to restart the OS in order to start the server. Only after that it appears in the 'Service management' GUI (and server can be managed from there now)

* Packages are still not listed by "rpm -qa" command

* I could only use commandline clients as root. Only mysql:mysql had privileges to access them. Fixed by adding read privilege for all users.

But most important TokuDB plugin does not load. This may because this is SuSE 12.3 (that may ship with another C-runtime etc. than what 12.1 and 12.2 did).

INSTALL SONAME 'ha_tokudb';

-- Error Code: 1123

-- Can't initialize function 'TokuDB'; Plugin initialization function failed.

If I add INSTALL SONAME .. to configuration the server will not start.

BTW: I also had some communication on Fedora's mailinglist. They have MariaDB 10.0.14 in Fedora 21 repos. But without TokuDB. They cannot build it. They have reported to MariaDB (they say).

One more thing I thought of.

I wrote ""Updating the file /etc/zypp/repos.d/ manually may work,but .. ". If SuSE runs on btrfs file system (what is default from 12.3 - and it works like a charm for me), I believe a file system snapshot will not be created if you edit the file as you describe it. Using zypper command or YaST GUI will generate a snapshot and you can revert to it with the "Snapper" application.

OK .. but did the TokuDB guys ever try to figure out why?

It could be a good idea to do. Because if it fails with Visual Studio, it may fail with other compilers as well. GCC is only one compiler and not the most standards-compliant as far as I understand.

It doesn't compile on Windows, as far as I understand.
