Allow custom MariaDB version using upstream repos #499

Closed maxxer closed 1 year ago

maxxer commented 2 years ago

MariaDB offers the chance to install a specific version from their repo on the download page.

It would be great to allow usage of these repo from the role.

I do not think @geerlingguy would respond to this request as his status shows he's busy......

My solution was to create a custom role that installed the official repo of the version I needed.......then I specified that repo in the {{enable_repo}} variable.

This would then install the version of MariaDB that you want.....

....OR browse through the hundreds of forks by other authors and check if they provide such option

I was thinking about a solution like yours. Thanks for the suggestion
