[libreoffice-users] MariaDB 5.5.33 Now Available
Hi :) Another stable release from MariaDb. Last time a few of the BoD slapped my wrists for posting 'irrelevant' and 'off-topic' posts and cited forwarding the last MariaDb announcement as an example, meanwhile a few people here suggested that it was good to hear about because so many GnuLinux distros are swapping out MySql (Oracle's) and replacing with MariaDb (which i thought had recently merged with another fork of MySql or something).

Re: [libreoffice-users] MariaDB 5.5.33 Now Available
FYI: I just checked the latest Slackware Linux development distro and they have switched to Mariadb for the next release. Slackware has a history of dropping software packages when the supplier varies from the Open Source paradigm or refuses to fix security problems. I guess Oracle has gone too far.

Re: [libreoffice-users] MariaDB 5.5.33 Now Available
I just checked the Slackware Current (unreleased yet, but available for testing) website again to see if the release notes had been updated with the reason to switch from MySQL to MariaDB. Alas, they have not updated that file from the 14.0 release yet. I think you are correct in that there are a lot of applications, including KDE4 I discovered, that use MySQL and Slack must verify they will all work with MariaDB before they release a distro with it. As another datapoint, I just checked the Slack 14.0 release, the latest release, and MariaDB is not included in the extra directory of the distro. That implies that back when 14.0 was released (c. 2012), Slack was not intending to replace MySQL with MariaDB. The extra directory usually contains experimental packages that Slack is considering, but they have not yet tested them enough to include them in the normal installation. From what I saw on the current website, MariaDB is not going to be in the extra directory, but in the installation itself. That change is a big step and a fast decision by Slackware - that is, if it is not changed before the release of current. On a personal note, my biggest concern is whether MariaDB will work with the Oracle Java connector I am using to interface with LO Base, or do I have to research all that again to get the correct configuration. mysql-connector-java-5.1.18 jdk/jre-6u37 Yes, it is old, but it works and I don't have to deal with the paranoid Oracle website.

I suspect the delay with Slackware switching was due to just how embedded MySql is in so many things and they wanted to make sure MariaDb really would work in as many of those places or ways as possible. Thanks for the feedback! I feel a bit vindicated again :) It is going to affect office systems so i figure it is good for us to be aware of what is going on.
