10.7/10.8 removed from Debian repository: unable to upgrade Galera clusters
Hi,
For Debian, versions 10.7 and 10.8 were removed from the repositories. This is understandable, as they're not LTS versions, but... this makes it impossible to upgrade Galera clusters on 10.6 (LTS, supported). According to the documentation, when upgrading Galera clusters, skipping major versions is not supported.
Could the project either bring these versions back, or decide that skipping major versions is supported for Galera and update the documentation?
Met vriendelijke groeten,

Also OSUOSL as the primary mirror complained about the space usage.
Archive repositories can be used:

As far as I know it was mainly going between galera major version that was the problem.
It's been on galera-4 that is compatible with 10.4+ so I don't think major version changes are a problem, however there needs to be more testing around this.

These outstanding tasks?
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-29162 https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-28483
(sorry, still not done, very short of documentation staff).
Currently rsync/mariadb-backup sst mechanisms need fixing for this:

According to the documentation, when upgrading Galera clusters, skipping major versions is not supported.
What doc exactly are you referring to? I suspect it means skipping *Galera* versions.
In my experience upgrading skipping the MariaDB 'innovation releases' works just fine, so you can probably upgrade from MariaDB 10.6 to 10.11 directly.
Speaking of this, it's really a shame that 10.6 LTS is not in Debian 12 repositories, because some of us still run 10.6 in production and it will be supported for 2 ½ years more according to MariaDB EOL policy. This makes a mundane task like upgrading the operating system difficult as the only solution for now would be to deploy MariaDB in Docker (which brings up other issues) or compile MariaDB for Debian 12 ourselves...
