Hi,
I tried to send the mail below to the developer's mailinglist, but this
didn't seem to work.
Kind regards,
Dieter

Subject: Default unix socket authentication for root in MariaDB
To: phpMyAdmin mailing list <phpmyadmin-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net>
Hi devs,
At MariaDB developers meetup, there was a discussion about enabling unix
socket authentiation [0] for the root user by default for new installs of
MariaDB (this is currently already enabled in Debian testing and in Ubuntu)
Basically this means there is no password for the root user, which is
possibly a problem using phpmyadmin out of the box on new installs with
MariaDB.
It is of course possible to create another user with a password, even for
root, using shell as root (or with sudo).
BTW : MariaDB will be default in Debian 9.0 (Stretch)

Hi all
I've just upgraded error reporting server (and GitHub hooks) to PHP 7.
It should work just fine, but in case you spot something weird, please
let me know.
