The Debian packages available from mariadb.org are not identical to the official Debian packages available from Debian's own repositories. The mariadb.org packages are generated using the Debian packaging in the main tree debian/ directory: https://github.com/MariaDB/server/tree/10.2/debian. The Debian packages in official Debian however are generated from https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-mysql/mariadb-10.0.git/tree/debian.
MariaDB when installed from the Debian repos has a number of differences with standard MariaDB.
System variables
| Variable | MariaDB in Debian | Standard MariaDB | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| character_set_server | utf8mb4 | latin1 | Debian sets a default character set that can support emojis etc. |
| collation_server | utf8mb4_general_ci | latin1_swedish_ci |
Options
| Option | MariaDB in Debian | Standard MariaDB | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| plugin-load-add | auth_socket.so | - | Debian enables the UNIX_SOCKET Authentication Plugin plugin by default, allowing passwordless login. |
