Hi, Vicențiu, There's a compromise approach - mariadb-upgrade is required (and thus downgrade does not work) between major versions, but mariadb-upgrade is not needed (and downgrade works) between minor versions.
So, again, to summarize: Premise: if mariadb-upgrade is required between versions X and Y, the downgrade from Y to X is impossible * Option 1: mariadb-upgrade is never required, for any X and Y * Option 2: mariadb-upgrade may be required for any X and Y * Option 3: mariadb-upgrade is required when X and Y differ in the first two components and not required if they differ only in the third component On Jul 28, Sergei Golubchik wrote: > > > > Rather than offer a half-truth, I would us just take a clear stance. > > We either fully support downgrading between minor versions > > officially (which has implications on how we approach bug fixes, > > especially on the storage side), or we don't even encourage it at > > all, stating "at your own risk", or do a full dump and restore as > > the only recovery method. > > Yes, this is exactly what I meant in my email too. > We should make a decision and then it will determine what we'll do. > Regards, Sergei VP of MariaDB Server Engineering and secur...@mariadb.org _______________________________________________ developers mailing list -- developers@lists.mariadb.org To unsubscribe send an email to developers-le...@lists.mariadb.org
