Re: MariaDB supported versions

iRedMail uses the MariaDB packages offered by linux vendors, not the software vendor upstream directly.
Do you plan to upgrade MariaDB from its own yum repository?
Since Rocky offers bug / security fixes for its packages, why upgrade from third-party yum repo? And what's the plan to upgrade MariaDB when you upgrade Rocky to 9?

Re: MariaDB supported versions

Hi! Thanks for your response. AFAIK MariaDB v10.3.x have already reached end of life.
From Rocky Linux 8 AppStream, I can see that versions 10.5.x and 10.11.x are available.

Name                        Stream                         Profiles                                      Summary                         
mariadb                     10.3 [d][e]                    client, galera, server [d]                    MariaDB Module                   
mariadb                     10.5                           client, galera, server [d]                    MariaDB Module                   
mariadb                     10.11                          client, galera, server [d]                    MariaDB Module     

So am I able to safely upgrade to 10.11.x?
