Posted Feb 2023: I would suggest that we will have PS8 build before end of Q2, as that is still ~4 months away
Only rpm packages are available for arm64 architecture yet.
Looks like, only RedHat users are able to compile from source.
It’s funny that OL9 is supported, even though OL probably has no future now that RedHat is no longer releasing its source. “06.2023”
Based on the other posts and answers here in the forum to the question about ARM, the answer is always the same.
Docker container or compile via the source code
We have come to the conclusion that we will not switch four large servers to Percona at a later date!
It’s a real shame.
Docker is not an option and spending hours trying to somehow get the source code to run on Debian 12 ARM64 is not an option.
Therefore we will work with the Community Edition of MariaDB.
I advocated for percona the last years and have now to admit, it was a stupid idea.
It is how it is, and we will move on without percona.
