Mageia forum

Hello!

I'm new in this forum and happy new year at all!

I'm using Mageia 3 64 bit on my desktop about a month (for it i've changed my graphic card Ati for a Nvida ).

I would install MariaDB 10.0.7 on Mageia but in the repository there is only the version 5.5.28.

On the MariaDB website , for Mageia, there are only three commands that installs MariaDB 5.5.8 from command line.

How i can install MariaDB 10.0.7 and after its updates?

Thank you in advance

The 10.x series of MariaDB is the development version. The latest stable series is 5.x.

Mageia official releases are intended to be stable and reliable and therefore provide only stable versions of software.

If you do want to test MariaDB series 10.x, then I think that you'll need to build it from source.

Hello! Thank you for your answer

Yes, MariaDB is the development version.

I see for other distros that there are repository for not stable software.

Is the same for Mageia? Or Mageia repository are only for stable software?

edit: i see on the MariaDB website that the last stable is the version 5.5.34. In the Mageia repository the last stable is the 5.5.28.
Is it not possible to have the 5.5.34 from the Mageia repository?

Mageia has no special repositories for unstable software. The development version of Mageia, cauldron, sometimes includes unstable versions, but only if the stable version of that software is expected to be available before the next Mageia release.

Mageia, as a release-based distro, does not generally provide version updates of software for the stable releases except with a new release of Mageia:

(At present backports are not being provided, although it is hoped to do so in the future, if sufficient resources become available.)

The next release of Mageia, Mageia 4, now at beta stage, has MariaDB 5.5.34:
