So, I've been tearing apart mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.11-1.fc18.x86_64 And I've tracked down some horrible breakage there that needs to be fixed upstream.
Given the state of mysql in the distro, and the pending move to mariadb, I'm wondering where the best place to report this bug would be. I find nothing but Oracle's bureaucratease, when I try to dig around mysql.com.
