Mariadb 10.2 and 10.3 are available in all distro except Arch
https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/#mirror=cnrs
The link Eli provided references lots of client programs having problems
- but I didn't find a list of which client programs.
Given how long this has been, I would like to suggest that the problem
lies with the clients at this juncture and not with mariadb.
I see 3 basic options to choose from for each offending client package:
(i) Drop client
(ii) Compile the client statically linked
( removes the need to provide and older mariadb. )
(iii) Provide 2 mariadb packages
Current and the older one needed for the clients to run using
shared libraries.
Hard to say without knowing which clients. And I don't know how much
work keeping both versions might be. This seems a bit similar to the
python situation where we still seem to have couplings to python 2.
Does anyone have a list of the 'problematic clients' so a reasonable
decision can be made how to move forward and update mariadb?
Eli how do you think we should proceed at this point?
thanks!
