MariaDB default users, databases and permissions in various distros
by Otto Kekäläinen 31 May '25

Hi! There are a lot of guides online that recommend running mysql_secure_installation (or MariaDB equivalent mariadb-secure-installation). On Debian/Ubuntu this script is pretty much useless, but in https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/346696/should-dbas-stop-running-mys… a commenter pointed out that in Fedora there are still anonymous users and a test database created on the default install. I wanted to check here on the packagers list what is your take on this? Should we try to unify that the default users and databases across various distros and packages of MariaDB would always be the same (secure) defaults so that mariadb-secure-installation can be deprecated? - Otto

Regression in 10.11.12 and 11.4.6 - do not upload to distributions
by Vicențiu Ciorbaru 10 May '25

10 May '25

Hi! There has been a serious performance regression in 10.11.12 and 11.4.6 releases. We do not yet have the root cause of the issue, but likely a change in InnoDB caused it. We have decided to "unpublish" those versions from mariadb.org mirrors and download infrastructure. If you are in the process of publishing this version to your distro, please do not do so. We will be doing an emergency release in the next week or so. For context, see: https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-36759 https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-36765 https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-36766 Vicențiu VP of Engineering @ MariaDB Foundation
