Ensure integration with drizzle for Ubuntu
Drizzle is a lighter weight, more flexible fork of MySQL. They are planning a stable release in February, and will definitely be included in the Natty release. Many MySQL based projects will be able to use drizzle with very little if any modification. Drizzle's replication model is also quite a bit more flexible and enabled currently via rabbitmq (though that is pluggable). We should ensure that this works in Natty as well as mysql replication, if not better.

[mordred] Add SSL back into MySQL protocol plugin (was thought to be low hanging, but is not): POSTPONED
Work Items:
Configure and test drizzle auth_pam plugin on Ubuntu - resulted in reporting bug #739778 and bug #739837: DONE
Configure and test drizzle auth_file plugin on Ubuntu: DONE
Test current wordpress package on drizzle unmodified - does not work to configure database, needs wordpress-drizzle plugin: DONE
Create or import (from previous efforts inside drizzle community) drizzle schema for wordpress( http://

Things to look at:
- upstart integration
upstart job file written -- clint needs to commit
- DBUS protocol integration
- Server admin/config
- Desktop DB provisioning
- Use of Drizzle as a system db?
- Useful for Akonadi apps?
- MySQL/Drizzle protocol situation
* Drizzle protocol still at spec
* MySQL is the default protocol
* Re-add support for SSL
* On both ports..... (3306 + 4427)
- HandlerSocket
- Authentication Plugins - PAM, LDAP, File
* SSL code removed from mysql protocol, needed for security of PAM auth (upstream)
* GRANT's Removed - Authorization plugins can be written.
- Simple auth -- username <-> schemaname restriction
- LDAP plugin supports full auth
* auth_file needs Authorization support
- management tool
* Multi-tenancy plugin creates a sandbox per IPv6 endpoint -- PLANNED NOT IMPLEMENTED
* Objective: drizzle as 'Recommends' alongside MySQL
Actions:
* Add SSL capability back to mysql protocol (upstream: mtaylor?)
* Add Authorization to auth_file plugin
* Build tool for managing auth_file plugin
* Drizzle-ize wordpress
* Create wordpress-drizzle package
