<p class="MsoNormal">Hi there,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I took over an older project to modernize the underlaying hardware / software.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This also involves the use of gbrowse, which in turn relies quite a lot on BioPerl.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As our freshly provided servers are all Debian based and we are highly encouraged to use a most recent version of Debian inside of our containers (docker), I ran into the following issue:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Debian no longer supports MySQL but has switched to MariaDB, which leads me to the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I tried to install gbrowse, resolving all the dependencies and stuff that came along. I also was able to compile the DBD::MariaDB as this is the required module for MariaDB-Connections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">However I was not able to find a Module in Bio::DB:SeqFeature:Store::DBI called MariaDB, there is only Mysql :(<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Although both adaptors should share at least some basic functionality, it is not possible to install the Mysql-Version on a recent Debian because DBD::MySQL will refuse to work with mariadb because of a version mismatch
(expected 8.x but reported 10.y).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Are there any plans / ideas to add mariadb support to the modules?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am not an original perl programmer so I don’t think it’s a good idea to start implementing / contributing with such a complex thing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Greetings,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
