#3420 Change: switch distribution default MySQL from 8.0 to 8.4
Closed: Accepted by zbyszek. Opened by amoloney.

Closed: Accepted
Reopen Issue

MySQL is packages now use the versioned package layout. Currently we have packages mysql8.0 and mysql8.4 which both provides their respective versioned named sub-packages (e.g. mysql8.0-server or mysql8.4-errmsg etc.)

A "distribution default" version is the one, that also provides the unversioned names (e.g. mysql-server or mysql-errmsg etc.)

Currently the "distribution default" version of MySQL is 8.0. Let's switch to 8.4.

Clarification: MySQL 8.0 to MySQL 8.4

Considering that MySQL 8.0 seems to have and EOL in April 2026, moving to MySQL 8.4 seems the right approach to me.

@mschorm Please rename the wiki page.

+1 otherwise

@zbyszek I tried to rename the page via the move button on the top right of the web page, while logged in, but I got a backtrace:

Internal error
...
ACCESS_REFUSED - Login was refused using authentication mechanism EXTERNAL.
...

I may retry later this week, after the datacenter move.
Or you can retry, to check if it really is some kind of authentication / permission problem.

@mschorm, this error is most probably related to the DC migration

After a week:
APPROVED (+4, 0, 0)
