 Description   

Will there be a binary distribution package for arm devices to be installed with apt-get install mariadb-10.2 in the near future? Now for arm one need to compile from source which takes several hours.

I agree with the original poster. I use an Olimex Lime2 single computer board under Debian Jessie 8 and I can only install MariaDB 10.0.30 which doesn't support SystemD. The daemon of my web server (using SystemD) must be launched after MariaDB but as the init script works only with SystemV, I'll have to write several SystemD scripts or I'll have to compile MariaDB from source whereas my hardware is already used for other purposes and not bloated by development packages. ARM devices have an increasing audience. Does it require a huge effort for you? I can't switch to Debian Stretch yet

At least you could give an answer. Thx.

There is a reasonable arm64 optimisation effort going on there is a chance this will get looked at.

In the mean time https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/cross-compiling-mariadb/ might help speed it up compilation.

gouessej Using a Before=webserver.service on the mariadb service (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/systemd/) https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html# or Requires= on the web server systemd service should solve your resolution problem without resorting to two init systems.

Any progress here?

https://mariadb.org/download/ under the repo tool

There is arm64/aarch64 for centos and rhel7
Also packages for Ubuntu LTS releases

Does that meet your requirements?

For embedded arm - https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/tree/package/mariadb

Maybe, as long as there are 32bit versions of mariadb 10.x available.

I'm now running 32bit compiled versions of 10.5. specially for raspberry, nvidia jetson-tk1 hardware
