Current state of play, the SUSE install includes mysqlnd with the core package, and mysql and mysqli are available
as extra packages. Again - nowdays the 'required' dependency on MySQL does seem to have been dropped, but other PHP
extensions sometimes flag that they need it - even when they don't
and that is why libmysql-support should be dropped to get this clean
the other extensions MAY require mysql
if they use mysqlnd they do not
if they use libmysql they do
mysqlnd does exactly what you want - there is no longer any mysql-package
needed on a server to have mysql-support in php because libmysql would
not be needed - i really do not understand why tis legacy libmysql-support
will not be simply dropped - nobody needs this these days in php
on the other hand that some auto-tests seem behave differently depending
on mysqlnd/libmysql shows that the existence of both makes only troubles
normally a auto-tets shuld have ONE expected result
In my own case I do not require any MySQL support ;)
I've only got Firebird as a database server, so I simply ignore any of the MySQL stuff, however it would be nice to be able to switch it off altogether ;)
