MariaDB Deprecation Policy

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

The MariaDB project tries to support as many different Operating Systems, Linux Distributions, and processor architectures as possible. However, when a distribution or OS stops receiving security and other updates it becomes difficult for the MariaDB project to freely provide packages for that platform. In such cases, our policy is to deprecate that platform and stop providing binary packages for it.

Current package platforms

The MariaDB project builds packages for the following:

Support for deprecated platforms

If your chosen Linux Distribution or Operating System is deprecated, packages or support are not completely unavailable. The MariaDB Corporation provides support for all versions of MariaDB back to even very old MySQL versions. This includes packaged binaries.
