minimal - Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, |
| 8 |
fonts, most drivers, non-critical features) |
| 9 |
vanilla - Do not add extra patches which change default behaviour |

The way you understand "minimal" seems to be closer to what "vanilla" is |
| 12 |
used for. By "feature additions" I assume that you mean "extra |
| 13 |
functionality added by patches". |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Note the subtle difference -- "minimal" disables default functionality |
| 16 |
(provided upstream) while "vanilla" disables patched-in functionality. |

Of course, there is the "server" use flag that mysql could use with |
| 19 |
great success. |
