I was looking through this thread out of boredom, saw this title and thought "What a great idea!"... Totally forgot I started it.

Looks like MariaDB is getting a lot of support. What about Percona?

What about Percona?

Percona has been spun off into its own thread: Percona Server with XtraDB Support (Optional MySQL Replacement)

If i haven't mentioned it before, some issues you may need to address with MariaDB devs or follow the issues at least

• https://kb.askmonty.org/en/will-mari...p-mysql-plugin
• https://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-5...ed-exit-status
• https://kb.askmonty.org/en/centos-5x...ts-and-postfix

Other than that, I've been using MariaDB 5.2.x since Feb/March 2011 so nearly a full year without problems itself.

Another RC of MariaDB was released this past week. They are planning for a general release soon. According to cpanelnick, they will consider including it then. Until then, this the general procedure (although I have not tried it with MariaDB):

1. Turn off MySQL automatic updates in WHM->Server Configuration->Update Preferences
2. Follow the regular installation instructions

This process should keep all your databases intact.
I have a spare server laying around, so when I get a chance to plug it in, I can verify that this works as expected.
