Document Name: Installing MySQL/MariaDB
Document URL: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/installing-mysql-mariadb/
Document File Path:
modules/ROOT/pages/installing-mysql-mariadb.adocWith MariaDB Server replacing MySQL Community Server in the main repo in Fedora 40 and onward, the documentation should be updated to reflect that change. As it stands right now, someone not knowing that the MySQL Community Server packages were removed would try to install the referened
community-mysql-serverpackage.I don't know what the proper wording should be in the document to mention that people running >= F40 would need to install using the packages provided by Oracle if MySQL is required, or install MariaDB Server.
I know this was brought up in issue #745, but it was closed without addressing the need to update the documentation. This would trip up newer Fedora users or Fedora users who are new to MySQL.
