Re: Mariadb server update soon?

Hello everyone,
MariaDB & MySQL maintainer here.

MariaDB upstream currently makes
LTS releases (5 years of support), STS (short term support) with 1
year lifetime, and rolling releases.
I want to have some kind of LTS to be offered in Fedora. And the
versions I am choosing are usually tied to which versions I am
maintaining in CentOS Stream and RHEL.

My capacity is unfortunately very limited lately.

I'm sorry I missed your message, but I can take a look now.

I know about the situation, but code, update and release related work
has much higher priority to me than this.
Even more so, that I haven't written a word of it and I only found out
it exists by chance.

This is because:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MariaDB_MySQL_Renaming
TL;DR:
The package 'mariadb' is now 'mariadb10.11' and package
'community-mysql' is now 'mysql8.0'.
But the new packages provide the old names, so when you install
'mariadb' or 'mysql' in Fedora 41 and later, you will get the correct
packages. (So as a user you shouldn't notice a change)

Ideally at this time I would like to see 3 versions of MariaDB packed
into Fedora:
10.11 LTS, 11.4 LTS and one experimental rolling release which will
always track the very latest version.

That's for the plans.
But before I'll add new MariaDB versions, I need to do work on MySQL.
Specifically, adding the 8.4 major version.
I have the Package Review Request ready for some time, but I haven't
find the capacity to make a review swap yet:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2305346
Review by anyone interested in progress in MariaDB / MySQL would be appreciated.
