The + Stretch release introduces a new mechanism for switching the default + variant, using metapackages created from the 'mysql-defaults' source + package. For example, installing the metapackage 'default-mysql-server' will + install 'mariadb-server-10.1'. Users who had 'mysql-server-5.5' or + 'mysql-server-5.6' will have it removed and replaced by the MariaDB + equivalent. Similarly, installing 'default-mysql-client' will install + 'mariadb-client-10.1'. + + Note that the database binary data file formats are not backwards + compatible, so once you have upgraded to MariaDB 10.1 you will not be able + to switch back to any previous version of MariaDB or MySQL unless you have a + proper database dump. Therefore, before upgrading, please make backups of + all important databases with an appropriate tool such as 'mysqldump'. + + The 'virtual-mysql-*' and 'default-mysql-*' packages will continue to exist. + MySQL continues to be maintained in Debian, in the unstable release. See the + page https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL more information about the + mysql-related software available in Debian. + + -- Otto Kekäläinen <otto@debian.org> Tue, 14 Mar 2017 16:21:58 +0200 |
