I don't understand myself why Mariadb is not available in Debian. Opensuse, Fedora, Wikipedia migrated from Mysql to Mariadb, 100% free software. I downloaded and installed official .deb from Mariadb site. It works with Wheezy and Jessie, on my two PC. I use it with Digikam and Amarok. Mariadb works like Mysql, same commands.

If you're really keen on using it Right Now instead of waiting to see if they're going to include it as part of the Debian distribution at some point, the nice folks at MariaDB do have a package repository for Debian systems that you can add to your system and then you can use apt-get or whatever to install it.

Re: Re: Reg: Mysql used instead of MariaDB
Hi, You are correct. I also moved to MariaDB after knowing the reason behind the MariaDB formation. I was just trying to find why Debian hasn't included MariaDB which was quite ready in 2012-2013. Thank you for your answers.
