Hi David, thanks for your analysis! You wrote that we could maybe switch from mariadb client library to the mysql client library. How could this be done? I think Koha uses DBD:mysql and not MariaDB?
So Koha uses DBD::mysql but the MariaDB client library is interchangeable with the MySQL client library. So I referenced mysql.h before... that file is used for both MySQL and MariaDB. Looking again... I realise that I was thinking of Ubuntu rather than Debian. Ubuntu comes with both but Debian only has the MariaDB client library. It looks like Debian "sid" has added mysql-client back in but stable versions don't have it. You'd have to look at sourcing it (and its dependencies) from elsewhere. For instance, you can do "wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.36-1_all.deb", apt install that, and then you have an interactive configuration of an apt repo source. After that, you can run the following: apt-get remove mariadb-client apt-get remove mariadb-client-core apt-get install mysql-client Now I'm not recommending this per se... but it's how you *could* do it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
