#39501: mariadb, percona: descriptions are identical to mysql ports'
--------------------------+------------------------------
 Reporter:  ryandesign@…  |      Owner:  pixilla@…
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.1.3
 Keywords:                |       Port:  mariadb, percona
--------------------------+------------------------------
 The descriptions of all the MySQL ports are identical:

 {{{
 $ port info --name --long_description mysql4 mysql5{,1,5,6} mariadb
 percona
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database
 with a command syntax very similar to mSQL.
 name: mysql4
 --
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database
 with a command syntax very similar to mSQL.
 name: mysql5
 --
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database
 with a command syntax very similar to mSQL.
 name: mysql51
 --
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database

 name: mysql55
 --
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database

 name: mysql56
 --
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database
 with a command syntax very similar to mSQL.
 name: mariadb
 --
 long_description: MySQL is an open-source, multi-threaded SQL database
 with a command syntax very similar to mSQL.
 name: percona
 }}}

 That's not awful, except that I expected the description of mariadb to say
 "MariaDB is..." and for percona to say "Percona is...", and perhaps have a
 mention of being forks of MySQL.

 In all these ports, the mention of mSQL is perhaps archaic. By now,
 nobody's confused about what MySQL is.
