We use Rocky 8.5 and are currently on the default version of Mariadb (10.3) which I'd like to upgrade to a more recent version, 10.11.* or later. But when I checked the Appstream modules the only other available version is 10.5.
There's plenty of documentation out there for doing new installs of more recent Maria versions (inc. setting up a separate Maria repo) but nothing so far that explains why a full re-install is necessary rather than having later versions available for upgrade.
Is Mariadb not really supported on Rocky? Should we even be trying to upgrade past 10.5? If we have a Maria repo, should Appstream be unenabled?
