MariaDB includes a User Feedback plugin. This plugin is disabled by
default. If enabled, it submits basic, completely anonymous MariaDB
usage information. This information is used by the developers to
track trends in MariaDB usage to better guide development efforts.

If you would like to help make MariaDB better, please add
"feedback=ON" to your my.cnf or my.ini file!

See http://mariadb.com/kb/en/user-feedback-plugin for more
information.

perfect. Please take time to report any issues you encounter at:

Note that the bug tracker is not a support channel. If you are
running MariaDB in an enterprise environment, please consider paying
for support and related services from a commercial company:

MariaDB is a true open source project. We welcome everyone's
contributions, be it by testing, submitting good bug reports,
debugging and writing code, writing documentation or in any other
