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! gene
