Aw thanks Reinis, I see the
problem/mistake I made. There are 2 apparently very different
websites purporting to be the "official" website for MariaDB -
mariadb.com and
mariadb.org. VERY confusing and I had accidentally
gone to the
mariadb.com website. Why in the world are there two
sites and if necessary to have both, why don't each site refer
users to the other site and give a description of why a user
should choose one or the other site? IMHO this is a very bad way
to provide website support for MariaDB users! I had simply Googled
for MariaDB and clicked on a link, assuming I was going to be
directed to the one and only "official" MariaDB website, never
realizing there were two sites, nor double checking that I was not
directed to the
mariadb.org website. Heck I never would have
guessed that there were two different MariaDB websites! GUI's,
including websites, should be guides to solutions, not just
toolboxes, and as for providing a guide to which website is best
suited for a user, both of these website have failed miserably and
this should be corrected ASAP!
The
mariadb.com website almost got it right in that one can select
a "Community" version of MariaDB, which I did, but it does not
show the options from the
mariadb.org site, instead it only shows
options for the Enterprise versions. For me that just made it
worse, since I was being lead to believe I was getting the open
source "community" versions of MariaDB and therefore I complained
that the choices I found there were unsuitable.
