The shared libraries aren't compatible between 10.9 and 11.4 and are used by many other packages so it's not really possible to update in 7.6-stable. If you want 11.4 now you could run OpenBSD -current snapshots where it's been updated. > [1] https://mariadb.com/kb/en/release-notes-mariadb-10-9-series/ > [2] https://mariadb.com/kb/en/changes-improvements-in-mariadb-11-4/ btw, note the changes in binary logging in 11.4 will mean that log files stack up unless you're doing replication or change the config https://mariadb.com/kb/en/replication-and-binary-log-system-variables/#slave_connections_needed_for_purge -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
