I would really appreciate. I believe that some great tools exist but are not used because are not in a default MariaDB/MySQL installation. A contrib directory could advertise good tools and encourage people to try them.

A: "Maria Discuss" <maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net> Data: Martedì 12 Aprile 2016, 16:55 Hi, I was speaking to Hartmut a few days ago and he mentioned that he really did like the idea of postgresql’s /contrib feature. From postgresql/contrib: This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their usefulness. (https://github.com/postgres/postgres/tree/master/contrib) Should we consider doing this for MariaDB Server? Have more tools that people might benefit from, but not spend much time on it? Just a thought cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi -----Segue allegato----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss Post to     : maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss More help   : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
