About
OurDelta produces enhanced builds for MySQL 5.0 and builds for MariaDB 5.1, on common production platforms. James Purser of Open Source On The Air describes OurDelta as “a new distribution for MySQL”.
We maintain the patches and build scripts separate from the base code in our lp:ourdelta bzr tree, which is applied to a baseline source to create build source. Builds are available for direct download from our mirrors, and through easy yum and apt-get package repositories.
Latest
- MariaDB 5.2.7 (GA) for RHEL/CentOS 5
- MariaDB 5.1.47 (GA) for Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL/CentOS 4 and 5
- MySQL 5.0.87-d10 (GA) for Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL/CentOS 4 and 5
Who we Are

| The OurDelta project is led by Arjen Lentz and Peter Lieverdink at Open Query, which also funds the project and manages the infrastructure necessary to provide trusted build environments. | Kristian Nielsen, Hakan Küçükyılmaz and Sergey Petrunia at Monty Program Ab are highly involved with the 5.1 build effort. Monty Program was founded by Monty Widenius, the original author of MySQL. | |

Versions of MySQL, MariaDB
For 5.0 we have a baseline of patches already assembled/created by Percona and the team at Google, plus the Sphinx engine. Various other fixes and patches are added also.
For 5.1 we work closely with Monty Program Ab, using a MariaDB 5.1 baseline which already incorporates the XtraDB plugin (enhanced InnoDB) and the PBXT storage engine.
Pricing
OurDelta builds are offered to you as a gift, which you accept by downloading and usage. Your reciprocal effort can be in the form of feedback, bug reports, code, assistance to fellow users, promotion, and the purchase of services.
The source code is licensed and available under the GPL v2 (GNU General Public License, Version 2), some components are under compatible licenses such as LGPL and BSD. GPL safeguards key freedoms for you, such as access to and modification of the source code.
Why OurDelta
For production environments (the real world!), some new additions are extremely useful and sometimes even vital for application performance as well as for maintenance and troubleshooting. For the MySQL Community to thrive, there is a need for upto-date builds on all relevant platforms, with speedy availability of new innovation. This encourages testing and use in more environments, which in turn enhances the feedback cycle, and improves quality. The packaging is also part of this.
