[sles-beta] MariaDB packages discussion

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Thanks for checking.  It would be great to have it available, even if it is not officially supported - especially since it seems to be available for every distro but SUSE.  
In the meantime, I suppose I should start seeing if I can get it to build in the openSUSE Build Service.

we are currently not planning to add mariadb-galera as
part of SLES (neither as part of SLE HA at the moment),
but I will take your input to discuss, if and how
packages of mariadb-galera will be made available for
SUSE Linux Enterprise 12.

Thanks!

so long -
