Hello everybody,
after the release of 10.1.27 upstream was made aware of a regression, so the release has been pulled from the downloads system. The fix will be in 10.1.28. I removed mariadb 10.1.27 packages from [testing].
Thank you Christian - related note - can you share thoughts around 10.2?
We tried to upgrade to MariaDB 10.2.6, which ended in a disaster. The client library has been renamed from libmysqlclient to libmariadb and it has seen structural changes for data types. Programs fail to link or - if they do link - crash or misbehave, including data corruption. I do not see any way to upgrade any time soon. IMHO data structures have to be made opaque in favor of accessing data via functions. OpenSSL suffered a similar problem, which has been solved with version 1.1.0. MariaDB upstream would have to do something similar. -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
