if you have a cauldron, you can enable updates_testing and then:
* rpm -e --nodeps all the mysql packages you have
* urpmi all the identical mariadb packages
* then you can build against it, by rebuilding your src.rpm
* then install that
* test if everything works, perhaps reboot or logout or whatever restarts
akonadi
* then test your package
i've already tested with phpmyadmin (thus php-mysql), drupal (thus php-pdo-
mysqli), amarok and akonadi...
no bug/tracker for it
