Hi there,
I'm not seeing any concise information in the MariaDB docs about the recommended upgrade plan from MySQL 5.6 to MariaDB 10.1. Should I install MariaDB 10.0 and then 10.1? Or can I run right to 10.1?
I asked about this in depth about a month ago here:

I didn't get any reply, perhaps because it was too detailed or was too much asking for an "official" reply. But it looks very much like mysql_upgrade can be run against a 5.x database straight to 10.1.
Sorry about missing the question. I would stay cautious claiming anything about "5.x", but for MariaDB 5.5 => 10.1 it should be okay, there are no known reasons for it not to work. Generally we encourage small jumps rather than big, but 5.5=>10.1 is not too big, it has been tested internally to some extent, and a lot of users must have done it by now, no complaints. If you encounter any issues, please file a bug report. Data backup before upgrade is always highly recommended. Regards, Elena
I'm running an older version of Ubuntu (12.04 Precise). Looking at the repo, it looks like I can stick with Precise, and hand that upgrade later. Or are there recommended min version of Ubuntu I should hit first?
Thanks!
Mike
