This just in from Mark Berryman
Mark Berryman informed me that he has published BETA-2 of MariaDB-5.5-57 (Alpha and Itanium) which can be downloaded from here:
http://www.theberrymans.com/php_kits/
Caveats:
1) This is a BETA #2
2) Not supported, and no warranty of any kind (like MySQL and MariaDB)
3) Mark still sounds overloaded so please to not bug him
4) For people who compile OpenVMS programs against Mark's libraries (like me), changes have been made which you will need to test on an alternate system. For example, his previous product (MariaDB-5.5-25) had separate directories for Alpha and Itanium libraries. This release changes that to a single common directory. Carefully read all of the file "Readme.VMS" before you begin.
