Installing Drizzle 7.1.33-stable

Note: For Drizzle 7.1.33-stable, only 64-bit packages were built for RedHat/Centos.
Known issues
All of the optional plugins are packaged in their own package. These are named drizzle-plugin-*. If a plugin is installed, it is also configured to load by default. (see /etc/drizzle/conf.d/pluginname.cnf) However, not all plugins actually work without further configuration. These plugins will cause the server startup to fail. The workaround is to either configure the plugin to work, or uninstall it if you don't want to use it. (Related blueprint) In short, you should only install the plugins you want to use. Don't install all available plugins. You also need to use "yum erase" and "apt-get purge" to uninstall plugins.
Please post bugs on the Drizzle bug tracker and questions and general feedback to drizzle-discuss mailing list.
