 Description   

Address yum.mariadb.org can resolve to 142.4.219.197 or 142.4.217.28. The order of the addresses always changes:

❯ nslookup yum.mariadb.org
 
Server:		192.168.1.1
 
Address:	192.168.1.1#53
 
 
 
Non-authoritative answer:
 
Name:	yum.mariadb.org
 
Address: 142.4.217.28
 
Name:	yum.mariadb.org
 
Address: 142.4.219.197
 
 
 
After 1 second:
 
 
 
❯ nslookup yum.mariadb.org
 
Server:		192.168.1.1
 
Address:	192.168.1.1#53
 
 
 
Non-authoritative answer:
 
Name:	yum.mariadb.org
 
Address: 142.4.219.197
 
Name:	yum.mariadb.org
 
Address: 142.4.217.28

It is ok. But content of http://142.4.219.197/ and http://142.4.217.28/ are different. Address 142.4.219.197 doesnt't have old version of MariaDB such as 10.4.10-10.4.14.

Well noticed. I suspect the ageing off of packages on the .28 server got broken.

For installing a specific archived version recommend https://mariadb.com/kb/en/yum/#pinning-the-mariadb-repository-to-a-specific-minor-release

FYI dbart, faust

Hi! About the changing IP, it's perfectly normal, we use Round Robin DNS loadbalancing.
On the difference between the content of those 2 mirrors, I guess this is not normal but dbart could confirm.

Yes, I suspect the two server are just out of sync in regards to removing older releases. These are not archive servers so they're not supposed to have all old releases on them. I will fix.
