@Pete-S said in MariaDB Package Issues While Updating from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8:
But nobody in their right mind...
...uses LTS releases. So we have to accept we are working from a crippled situation anytime that this comes up. It means we are already dealing with politics over function. So knowing that, it should explain why we have to deal with what we have to deal with. Would have been super fast to do a fresh install.
But you'd not do a fresh install of CentOS 8 or Streams if it wasn't for politics. We'd be putting in Fedora, Ubuntu, or OpenSuse. So not getting to do a fresh install is just one artefact of many when doing what's best for the application platform isn't what drives decision making.
