Did you use the source tarball (as the "Affects Version/s: 10.5.0" suggests) or the source repository from git?

I see that rocksdb is present in the source 10.5.0 tarball

In the repository it's a submodule, you either need to run git submodule update --init --recursive or just run the build and cmake will do it for you automatically.

I am using, as 99% of the people, the repository you offer in the web site,
for 10.5 Beta. It is not there when I try to install it with yum.
yum -y install MariaDB-rocksdb-engine. I am using Centos 8.

1. MariaDB 10.5 CentOS repository list - created 2019-12-17 14:19 UTC#
   http://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/repositories/
   [mariadb]
   name = MariaDB
   baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.5/centos8-amd64
   gpgkey=https://yum.mariadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
   gpgcheck=1

After the file is in place, install MariaDB with:

sudo dnf install boost-program-options
sudo dnf install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client --disablerepo=AppStream
sudo systemctl start mariadb

Oh, you mean yum repository, not git repository. I see. Sorry for confusion.

Yes, rocksdb rpm wasn't built on CentOS8, there was a packaging bug that only manifested itself on CentOS8 and FC31.

It is already fixed in 10.5, but the fix didn't make it into 10.5.0 release
