Bug#1036081: pre-unblock: mariadb/1:10.11.3-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Control: affects -1 src:mariadb
A new MariaDB 10.11 upstream minor maintenance 10.11.3 is pending at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/merge_requests/46
This pre-unblock request is to get a decision from the Bookworm
release team if you prefer to accept this 10.11.3 into Bookworm, or if
you wish it to be postponed to a stable update in Bookworm some time
later in fall 2023.
As the main maintainer I suggest the release team would decide to
include this 10.11.3 in Debian Bookworm at this point in time. There
is extensive CI in place pre-upload, and extensive autopkgtests and
other quality assurance post-upload. The MariaDB packages in stable
releases have a good track record of having unsurprising minor
maintenance releases. The MariaDB 10.11.2 release was the first one
announced GA (general availability), so this 10.11.3 includes many
important upstream bugfixes (though many of them were already
cherry-picked into 10.11.2-4 in Debian). The benefit of having known
important bugfixes included in Bookworm outweighs the risks of
potential unknown and unlikely regressions in this case.
This request does not have an exact debdiff, as the 10.11.3 import
work was done today and later this week we might add one or two more
bugfix commits to it.
