Hi,
https://mariadb.com/kb/en/upgrading-from-mariadb-104-to-mariadb-105/
(and all other minor upgrade guides) contain these steps:
2. Stop MariaDB.
3. Uninstall the old version of MariaDB:
On Debian, Ubuntu, and other similar Linux distributions, execute
the following:
sudo apt-get remove mariadb-server
4. Install the new version of MariaDB.
I'm thinking to myself: doesn't it make more sense to instruct readers
to 'dist-upgrade' on Ubuntu and Debian (which works because of the
'Replaces' in newer packages)? That would merge steps 3 and 4 (and maybe
step 2 as well, because of stop_server() in preinst) into one command
that could be easier to use for novice users.
Sorry if I missed a detail that dist-upgrade does not take care of
why keep it simple? :-)
our MariaDB instances date back to 2002 aka MySQL3 and the datadir went
from Windows to MacOSX and later to Linux.
frankly my self built packages don't stop services at upgrades which was
for most software the reason to blacklist the distribution packages and
replace them
30 seconds for a dist-upgrade on a VM, reboot, mysql_upgrade, done
