Status for mariadb/1:11.8.5-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
startup-message.patch Show banner in server and client startup to drive community engagement

Suggest to users that they can support MariaDB development by simply giving a
star on GitHub. This patch experiments with how well such a banner works, and
may later change the contents to drive some other kind of engagement.

hide-mysql-command-deprecation-warnings.patch Disable the 'mysql*' command deprecation warning
Many command-line tools expect the commands they run to return without
any output in stderr or having error codes. The fact that now in MariaDB
11.4 all 'mysql*' commands emit a deprecation warning causes a lot of
scripts to fail, such as the /etc/init.d/mariadb itself and many dependent
programs as witnessed via Debian autopkgtests. See examples below.

1063738-x32-compile-time-assert.patch Make compile_time_assert compatible with x32 (Closes: #1063738)
The x32 build was failing on:

compile_time_assert(sizeof(MYSQL) == 77*sizeof(void*)+656);

Reported upstream at https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-34195.
This is a regression from upstream commits c432c9ef and 06a884a57071.

Fix is based on advice from https://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2024/07/msg00003.html
which is also aligned with https://wiki.debian.org/X32Port.		 Otto Kekalainen <otto@debian.org> no 2024-07-04
Fix-misc-spelling-in-MariaDB-Server-repository.patch Fix misc spelling in MariaDB Server repository
This is a combined patch of various spelling fixes.

* Fix misc typos in MariaDB Server

* Fix spelling of 'allows one to'

Fix the following Lintian nags introduced in commit
c8d040938a7ebe10e62506a726702c5990ef4dda:

Improve-output-from-mariadb-secure-installation-to-be-mor.patch Improve output from mariadb-secure-installation to be more honest
The script is not useful in Debian, and likely misleading to users.

doing.		 =?utf-8?b?T3R0byBLZWvDpGzDpGluZW4=?= <otto@debian.org> yes 2025-06-04
MDEV-37411-suppress-new-warning-about-native-aio.patch Suppress native AIO warning introduced in 10.8.3
Upstream a87bb96 introduced a new warning, visible at least on all ppc64el and
s390x builds which makes the post-build mariadb-test-test fail:

[Warning] InnoDB: native AIO failed: falling back to
innodb_use_native_aio=OFF

The case of this is the ci environment only where there is insufficent
fs.aio-max-nr configured. A such we are adding a suppression to the
mtr only. The warning is valuable for users. Upstream MDEV-37411 has
added a io_setup as a warning, which will fail in the CI environment,
so we're pre-emptively suppressing this warning too.

Unlike upstream MariaDB, in Debian we removed libaio in for Linux on
MariaDB 10.6+ in 612630c6 and completely in 1d648d6f. This was re-added
by upstream added a system variable innodb_linux_aio to control, and
also provided automated fallback. As such we're readding it back too.

With liburing still seccomp filterer in container environments having
a libaio fallback is more valuable than the threads implementation of
last resort.

Edited & Updated: Daniel Black <daniel@mariabdb.org>


Upstream rejected this with the conclusion, is that it will start working in
Debian/Salsa/Ubuntu/Launchpad once the Linux kernel is new enough to handle the
I/O calls and fallbacks properly, or once the CI system increases the value of
/proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr to 1 million or so, to allow multiple parallel MariaDB
servers (as started by mariadb-test-run) each have enough quota for native AIO
to work.		 =?utf-8?b?T3R0byBLZWvDpGzDpGluZW4=?= <otto@debian.org> yes 2025-08-07
MDEV-38046-pcre2-offset.patch [PATCH] MDEV-38046 Make func_regexp_pcre tolerant to PCRE2 offset change

PCRE2 10.47 reports the invalid escape in 'A\q' at offset 3 instead of 2.
Update the expected result and add a --replace_regex in the test so the
suite passes with both older and newer PCRE2 versions.

(accepted upstream, will be in MariaDB 11.8.6+)		 Aquila Macedo <aquilamacedo@riseup.net> yes 2025-11-07
include-debian-in-test-merge-alter-result.patch Make the new merge_alter test indifferent to extra version info
Modify the test regex to accept any extra version info, just like it
accepts any server version info. The test is supposed to fail on actual
differences in behaviour and server info strings are intentionally
normalized and not regarded.

Without this modification, the test introduced in 9e8e215e would fail
in post-build MTR on "from Debian-log" and in autopkgtest on "from Debian":
