+MariaDB is a backward compatible, drop-in replacement branch of the
+MySQL(R) Database Server. It includes all major open source storage
+engines, including the Aria storage engine.
+
+This conflicts with Slackware's mysql package. Do NOT install both!
+
+If you want to build the embedded mysql server (libmysqld), which
+you will need if you plan to (re)build amarok, then run the script
+with EMBEDDED=yes in the environment.
