= MariaDB 10.4 =
== Summary ==
Update of MariaDB ('mariadb' package) in Fedora from 10.3 to 10.4 version.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:mschorm| Michal Schorm]]
* Email: msch...@redhat.com
== Detailed Description ==
Update of MariaDB package in Fedora from 10.3 version to 10.4 version.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
I'm cooperating with the upstream to bring the latest stable software
to Fedora users.
10.4 series introduces number of enhancements, which cannot be found
in previous series.
Apart from that, MariaDB Galera Cluster has been significantly
reworked and enhanced. (galera 3 updated to galera 4)
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
**Prepare MariaDB 10.4 as a module for Rawhide and atleast one stable
Fedora release (done)
**Prepare MariaDB 10.3 as a module for Rawhide, so there would be a
failover in case of problems (done)
**Release MariaDB 10.4 to Rawhide (blocked by #1724283; solving with upstream)
**Check software that requires or depends on 'mariadb' or 'galera'
package for incompatibilities
**Gather user input on the changes between MariaDB 10.3 and 10.4
* Other developers: N/A
* Policies and guidelines: N/A
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
The MariaDB client library is compatible, so the shouldn't be any
issues and / or need for rebuild of dependent packages.
Galera package bumped version from 25.3 to 25.4 which introduces
bigger changes. However since no other project in Fedora than MariaDB
use Galera, I don't expect any issue here.
== How To Test ==
Usual testing as when upgrading between major MariaDB versions.
Test that all other software runs well with MariaDB 10.4.
Report any issues, so I can reach the different upstreams and check if
they plan update their software to support MariaDB 10.4 and when.
== User Experience ==
The users will have to upgrade their databases the same way as between
major MariaDB versions.
If the users want to stick with MariaDB for a little longer, I provide
MariaDB 10.3 module.
If the users want to test it beforehand, I provide MariaDB 10.4 module.
== Dependencies ==
There should be absolute minimum amountof packages, that use MariaDB
as a BuildRequires. Since the separation of MariaDB client library,
only packages that build server plugins may use MariaDB as a
BuildRequires.
Since the client library ('mariadb-connector-c') is not changing,
dependent software should work fine.
== Contingency Plan ==
Modules will provide the functional version of MariaDB 10.3, available
to all users.
* Contingency mechanism: Fedora Modules available
* Contingency deadline: beta freeze
