mariadb-10.1 (10.1.20-1) unstable; urgency=low
MariaDB is now the default MySQL variant in Debian, at version 10.1. 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.
