mysql was pretty much the downstream thing that everybody used back then.
- Sesse__ 3mo agoMySQL has never been downstream of MariaDB.
- Yokohiii 3mo agoI am talking pre mariadb times.
- Sesse__ 3mo agoAre you maybe confusing “downstream” with “mainstream”? Being “downstream” of a product means that you are a derivative of that product (your upstream), taking in basically all of their code and adding your own on top.
- Yokohiii 3mo agoSo the meaning of downstream is different for SuperSQL (the direct derivative) and TodoApp (the commercial product)? Imho, downstream are all consumers/users of that product. I guess it's arguable how a package manager positions in that terminology. Edit: Also I originally said, "it was the thing used downstream", which just is to describe the consumers. Also not sure what I got into, because the original question is wildly confusing!
