Hi :) The MariaDb itself not the connector.  The connector is nothing to do with them and i don't think they even know the LibreOffice connector doesn't work in 3.5.x branch.  The connector is part of the LibreOffice project and probably not even an official part of it.  I simply copied the

Hi :) +1 Hacking is a term generally misused in the press and society at large.  The real meaning has nothing to do with illegal or destructive vandalism.  My understanding is that people can take the code and add their own developments as long as they use a suitable licence for their result.

I wonder what the difference would be using openjdk-jre, vs. the regular version, with respect to security? We still have to have Java as part of LO, even when all of the internal Java coding changed out to Python. There are Extensions that require a JRE being installed so it can work.
