That's coming earlier that I though. Thanks for info. So the question has been asked in the mailing list that seems to be related to maintenance of MariaDB in Debian: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-mysql-maint/2020-July/013967.html Let's hope for the answer. > Will Koha 18.11 still work with Debian GNU/Linux 9, and if yes, how > could the update be done? You mean Debian 9 with MariaDB 10.3 right? Not upgrading to Debian 10. I can tell you about MariaDB 10.3 that there is experimental support for Koha 19.05.x https://koha-community.org/koha-19-05-13-released/#systemrequirements The test suite passes without issues and experimental support is advertised since Dec 2019 (19.05.06) and it *seems* no bug have been reported. About Debian 10 I'm sure you will have to backport some patches. I remember that in the last months there was quite some work to support Debian 10. And that it didn't make it to 19.05 So Koha 18.11 on Debian 10 might quite the hassle. I case you can't upgrade to a least 19.05.x, (only one version might be less disruptive for the users) though a higher version would be better. It seems doable to make your Koha 18.11 work with MariaDB 10.3. Given that all the necessary patches should be in 19.05.x though I have not an easy way to find them. ^^" Other than having a test instance, getting the errors and searching in bugzilla. But let's wait to get the confirmation that MariaDB 10.1 will still get security updates. Someone on IRC (#debian) told me yes so it seems to be the case.
