The mariadb package in pkgsrc hasn't been updated in years.  If nobody

It's again just a case of people that are interested in them stepping
up and fixing the problems.

You'd be surprised, it's not that difficult, and as this email shows
we're always in need of more maintainers to keep packages updated and
building correctly.
