With upstream (5.6 and 5.7) MySQL when I use cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$X, then after I install the build, mysqld searches in $X/etc for my.cnf. That is not true for MariaDB Server 10.2. Why can't this match upstream?
It certainly can. It just doesn't. Because we merge from 5.6 into MariaDB feature by feature, and nobody has requested this particular feature so far. At least I couldn't find it in Jira.
