Hello everybody,

In case you missed it, I just want to share an announce of availability of MariaDB 10.2 on CentOS 6 & 7 as a Software collections.

Here are the announce emails from CentOS mailing list, which contains most basic howto:

This made MariaDB 10.2 a big step closer to a new mass of users, because the standard MDB version in CentOS & RHEL is 5.5.

It took quite an effort to fine-tune and perk-up the MDB 10.2 since its first attemps in Fedora, however it is always pleasure to cooperate with developers like you :)
