New GPG Release Key for RPMs
As mentioned in the previous batch of release notes (e.g. 10.6.11), our Yum/DNF/Zypper repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Centos, Fedora, openSUSE and SUSE will, from our next set of releases, be migrated to being signed with a new GPG key with SHA2 digest algorithms instead of SHA1.
The key we are migrating to is the same one we already use for our Debian and Ubuntu repositories.
- The short Key ID is:
0xC74CD1D8 - The long Key ID is:
0xF1656F24C74CD1D8 - The full fingerprint of the key is:

MariaDB at FOSDEM 2023
MariaDB is at FOSDEM 2023, and it’s great to be back for the in-person event in Brussels for the first time since 2020. We’ll be participating in the MariaDB, MySQL and friends devroom. If you’re here in person, come see us live in room K.3.201 on Sunday morning, or come hang out at anytime our stand at Building K Level 1 Group B Stand 8.
And if you’re not enjoying the Belgian culinary delights and the rain in person, everything […]

Gcov in MariaDB
Gcov is a coverage testing tool, used to create better programs. It can show which parts of the codebase are untested. Gcov is located in the same package as gcc. MariaDB takes care of code quality and checks test coverage with Gcov. We are looking forward to have Gcov used soon as a part of our buildbot (MDBF-158).
How to use Gcov
Let’s write a demo example to demonstrate how it works.

MariaDB Non-Code Contributions by Intel
I’ve mentioned in past blog posts that not every contribution is a code contribution. There are many possible contributions that are valuable, including testing, bug reports, helping the community, etc.
Non-code contributions are quite invisible
Unfortunately, non-code contributions are sometimes invisible to the wider community, so today I wanted to shine a light on some such contributions. In this case, contributions made by one of our sponsors, Intel.
Intel is open source friendly

Writing User-Defined Functions in Rust
One of the most straightforward ways to add functionality to MariaDB or MySQL server instances is by creating a user-defined function (UDF). These are compiled functions loaded from dynamic binaries that can be much more performant and flexible than what can be written in SQL, providing the same capabilities as builtin functions.
These UDFs are typically written in C or C++, but a library is now available that makes it easy to write them in Rust. This blog discusses some […]

Going for a Code of Conduct
It may be long overdue, but based on recent events, we have launched Code of Conduct project at MariaDB Foundation. Our aim is to get your feedback and define a CoC, ideally by end of January, if we see convergence.
In the meantime, if we see unacceptable behaviour on the MariaDB mailing list or elsewhere, we will take action. We want to extend our apology to those who have had unpleasant experiences, about which we have done nothing in the […]
