Hi,
congratulations for the GA release! I guess that means I no longer have any
excuse to not look into drizzle more deeply :)
Are there plans to update rpm.drizzle.org with a 7-rel directory or
something like that? Right now it doesn't seem to carry RPMs for the GA
release.
Regards,
Dennis

We’ve released Drizzle7
<http://blog.drizzle.org/2011/03/15/drizzle-2011-03-12-ga-tarball-has-been-released/>!
Not only that, we’re now calling it Generally Available – a GA release.
What does this mean? What does this GA label mean?
You could view as a GA label being “we’re pretty confident people aren’t
going to on mass ask for our heads when they start using it”… which isn’t a
too bad description. We also plan to maintain it, there could be future
releases in this series that just include bug fixes – we won’t just
immediately tell you to go and use the latest tarball or bzr tree. This
release series is a good one to use.
Drizzle7 is something that can be packaged in Linux distros. It’s no longer
something where the best bet is to add the PPA
<https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-developers/+archive/ppa> and upgrade every
two weeks or build from source yourself. If you’re looking to deploy
Drizzle (or develop against it) – you can rely on this release.
I’ll never use the words “production ready” to describe a release – it’s
never up to me. It’s up to each person or organisation looking to deploy a
piece of software to decide if that bit of software is production ready for
them.
Personally, I’m looking forward to see how people can break it. While
Drizzle is *the* best tested FOSS SQL RDBMS server, I’m sure there’s new an
interesting ways it can be broken by saying we’re ready for a much larger
crowd to hammer on it.
Overall, I think we’ve managed to take the now defunct MySQL 6.0 tree (way
back in 2008) and release something that can truly live up to the line
“database for cloud”. Drizzle is modern, modular, rather solid and
understandable. The future is bright, there is so much more to do to make
the ultimate database for cloud. Drizzle7 is a great platform to build on –
both for us (developers) and us (people who use relational databases).
