 ===== Build Debian MariaDB packages with readline support =====
-I've been frustrated with the use of editline (libedit) instead of readline that the MariaDB is now built with in Debian 11. I have found editline to be buggy: its implementation of Ctrl-R and editing of wrapped lines do not work well, plus Ctrl-W not being mapping to delete a word by default is infuriating!

-As I understand it, Debian is no longer able to distribute MariaDB built against readline as the former is GPL2 and the latter GPL3, and apparently the 2 are incompatible for distribution. So I have written for [[how to rebuild MariaDB against readline in Debian]].

 Edit ''debian/changelog'' and add new line at top. Version number should be incremented by adding a letter on the end. E.g.
-  mariadb-10.5 (1:10.5.19-0+deb11u2c) bullseye; urgency=medium
+  mariadb (1:10.11.19-0+deb12u1a) bookworm-security; urgency=medium

+For Bookworm and later, edit ''cmake/aws_sdk.cmake'' and change ''NOT_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'' to ''NOT_FOR_DISTRIBUTION1'' (this is to stop the AWS SDK from being included which causes the build to fail).
