MARIADB 12.3.2 ENTERS TESTING AS ECOSYSTEM STABILIZES

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

MariaDB 12.3.2 is now available in extra-testing, signaling the start of a coordinated push to move critical infrastructure packages through the release pipeline.

MariaDB 12.3.2-2 [1] hit extra-testing-x86_64 overnight, the first major database update in this cycle. Alongside it, ZeroTier One 1.16.2-1 [2] entered testing as well, suggesting the team is working through a backlog of pending bumps across multiple critical services. On the extension front, Firefox AdBlock Plus reached 4.38.3-1 [3] in the stable extra-any repository, so users will see that land automatically. The toolchain side picked up Perl IPC Shareable 1.16-1 [4], a smaller but necessary update for developers using shared memory in scripts. Drupal 11.3.11-1 [5] also moved to stable, closing out the CMS update cycle. Meanwhile, signstar's CI pipeline got a reliability bump [6] with retry logic on flaky test jobs, reducing noise in the feedback loop.
