Normally this should also work with mariadb, as most distros have switched
to mariadb and it just worked. Make sure you have the correct dependencies
for mariadb, e.g. the source files

FWIW, there is a PPA for the current master build, you can find it at
https://launchpad.net/~joe-yasi/+archive/ubuntu/amarok-kde5

Just talked to Joe yesterday, he said he will provide the debugging symbols
as well in the future, so any crash reports can be used from this build.
Be aware that current master is not released yet, not even as a beta, as
sadly we have nobody with enough time and skills to port the context view
applest to qml, but you should be able to use Amarok for most of its other
components.
