[Bio-Linux] Bio-Linux 8 small fixes (Tim Booth)

[Steve Moss]

Dear Tim,

This probably won't affect most, but I use MariaDB rather than MySQL, which
caused errors with the update. I needed to extract the files from
upgrade8.sh using sharutils and edit the bl_master_package_list.txt to
replace mysql-client etc. with mariadb-client etc..

I'd personally recommend everyone use MariaDB (a fork and drop in
replacement of MySQL developed by SkySQL), with the plans that the evil
Oracle no doubt have for MySQL in the long run.

Cheers,

Steve
