You maybe already noticed, that MariaDB folks released their new stable version 5.2.3 today. And as we’ve got our great openSUSE Build Service, we already have this version packaged and you can install it easilly on openSUSE. I didn’t had much time to test it deeply, I just tried that it runs, and that I’m able to connect to it, so it is currently in server:database:UNSTABLE repository, but after some testing, it will proceed futher 😉 If you want to try it, make sure to backup your data first! So talks on openSUSE you can use one click install to get MariaDB 5.2.3. For others, you can just use one of the following repositories:
- CentOS_5
- Fedora_12
- Fedora_13
- Mandriva_2010.1
- Mandriva_2010
- RHEL_5
- SLE_11
- SLE_11_SP1
- openSUSE_11.1
- openSUSE_11.2
- openSUSE_11.3
- openSUSE_Factory
This was just a quick note about new MariaDB, you’ll see more MySQL goodies in near future in openSUSE 😉
