 Description   

Hello! When I used mariadb_repo_setup script, it configured following repo:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mariadb.list
 
# MariaDB MaxScale
 
# To use the latest stable release of MaxScale, use "latest" as the version
 
# To use the latest beta (or stable if no current beta) release of MaxScale, use "beta" as the version
 
deb [arch=amd64,arm64] https://dlm.mariadb.com/repo/maxscale/latest/apt bookworm main

And maximum version maxscale there is 23.02.4~bookworm-1

Description: MaxScale - An intelligent database proxy
 
 .
 
 MariaDB MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of
 
 database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules,
 
 a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of
 
 the various servers within the backend cluster of databases.
 
 .
 
 MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability
 
 functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides
 
 a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to
 
 support different protocols and routing decisions.

dbart do you think you can fix this? (FYI: tturenko)

Comment by Daniel Bartholomew [ 2023-10-12 ]

I'll need to work with IT to get this fixed. The 'latest' symlink is supposed to point at whatever is the latest release, so something has gone awry with it.

Comment by Daniel Bartholomew [ 2023-10-12 ]

Turns out I didn't need to involve IT after all.

I took a look in the tools backend at the MariaDB MaxScale 23.08 release series and saw that it was marked as "Beta" and not "GA". The actual MaxScale 23.08.1 release was marked as GA, but the 23.08 release series was not. This is what was messing up the "latest" symlink as the system looks for the latest GA release series, which was still 23.02.

Anyway, I switched the release series to GA and when I did a test install it installed MaxScale 23.08.1. I tested on Ubuntu Jammy and on RHEL 8 and because those work the other repositories should as well.

Please check to verify it is working on your side. Thanks!

I confirm, it is working on Debian 12.2 (Bookworm). Thank you, Daniel!
