[SOLVED] MariaDB did not install on upgrading

san2ban · 06-08-2013, 10:44 AM

Hello slackers
On the slackware home page, it is mentioned that Mysql would be removed in favour of MariaDB. I installed slackware14-64bit 3 days back. When I upgraded, I still find that MySql5.5 is installed, not MariaDB

Is it not yet changed yet?

It has been removed from the -current branch. Which version of Slackware are you using?

My apologies. That's what happens to me when I read and talk to someone at the same time

@San2Ban:

What Patrick meant was the next Slackware (aka Slackware-Current) will migrate to MariaDB, but the current Slackware release (14.0) are still using MySQL

Hello all
I have upgraded only to stable, Slackware14-64bit stable.

Thanks for the clarification, willysr

OK, as it has been mentioned in this thread it's MySQL has been replaced with MariaDB in the -current branch of Slackware. You can always check/monitor any changes in relevant Changelogs, both for -stable and -current branches:
