RHEL/CentOS

Instructions for MariaDB 5.2 (new release)

Install the OurDelta release RPM :

rpm -ivh http://master.ourdelta.org/yum/CentOS-MariaDB52/ourdelta-release-5-1.noarch.rpm

You’re done. From that, proceed to install the MariaDB packages as usual, using yum:

For server installs:
yum install MariaDB-server
For client connectivity:
yum install MariaDB-client

This version of MariaDB does not conflict with any prior installation of MySQL.

Instructions for MySQL 5.0 and MariaDB up to 5.1 (obsolete packages)

Install the YUM ProtectBase plug-in, get the initial sign key, and then the OurDelta release RPM containing YUM repo/mirror files and GPG key: RHEL/CentOS 4: yum install yum-plugin-protectbase RHEL/CentOS 5: yum install yum-protectbase rpm --import http://master.ourdelta.org/deb/ourdelta.gpg Note: You must add protect=0 to all other repos in all .repo files or any repos that you have in /etc/yum.conf if you want them unprotected, otherwise they belong to the group.protect=1

MariaDB 5.1 and Upgrading

MariaDB (5.1) purposely conflicts with MySQL (5.0), so you don’t magically/automatically upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1. You can force it, or (more appropriately) remove the 5.0 packages then install the 5.1 packages. Removing does not remove /var/lib/mysql (the data directory). But of course it’s always wise to make a backup of the physical, as well as doing a mysqldump.
Please note: right now we only have RHEL/CentOS 5 packages of MariaDB 5.1. If you need packages for RHEL/CentOS 4, please let us know.

Packages

  • MySQL-OurDelta-server
  • MySQL-OurDelta-shared
  • MySQL-OurDelta-client
  • MySQL-OurDelta-devel
  • MySQL-OurDelta-test
  • MySQL-OurDelta-debuginfo
  • MySQL-OurDelta-Sail-… same as above for the bleeding edge build.
  • MariaDB-OurDelta-… same as above for MariaDB 5.1
For any server installation, install -server. For client connectivity, install -shared and -client.

    Success – replace default MySQL 5.0.x with MariaDB 5.2.x on CentOS 64-bit 5.x following the OurDelta yum recipe above. Thanks!
