Re: MariaDB 10.2 into Debian in December
Hello!
This plan didn't hold as the release of 10.2 by upstream seems
delayed. I have therefore started preparing MariaDB 10.1 for Debian
and I am almost complete now, so I can upload it (first to
experimental) very soon. The differences between 10.0 and 10.1 are
quite small from dependant packages point of view, so I don't expect
any hickups during the upgrade.
