Admittedly: I don't keep track of all the latest & greatest stuff on the FOSS world (I presume MariaDb is FOSS?), but I'd never heard of MariaDb before. Furthermore: Considering how even PostgreSQL, which has, technically speaking, been around *longer* than MySQL, can gain little traction as a backend dbms for many projects, I would think it would be suicide for any distro to try to "move from" MySQL to such a thing. > I really wish there was someone on the Postgresql mailing list who > would let us know each time they have a stable or LTS or such-like > release. I'm not certain what would be the point to that. Besides: If people want to know: They can sign up to the PostgreSQL "Announcements" mailing list. (*All* PostgreSQL branches are "LTS," btw. Generally they all have about a five-year lifespan.) Regards, Jim -- Note: My mail server employs *very* aggressive anti-spam filtering.
