The MariaDB Foundation 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 provide freely packages for that platform. In such cases, our policy is to deprecate the platform and stop providing binary packages for it.

This policy and related deprecated dates are from the MariaDB Foundation. For information on the MariaDB Corporation's policies related to supporting software, see the Engineering Policies page.

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.
