Creating the MariaDB Binary Tarball

How to generate binary tar.gz files.

Setup your build environment.
Build binaries with your preferred options/plugins.

MariaDB until 5.3

Use make_binary_distribution to generate a binary tar file:

cd mariadb-source
./scripts/make_binary_distribution

This creates a source file with a name like mariadb-5.3.2-MariaDB-beta-linux-x86_64.tar.gz in your current directory.

The other option is to use the bakery scripts. In this case you don't have to compile MariaDB source first.

cd $PACKAGING_WORK
bakery/preheat.sh
cd bakery_{number}
bakery/tarbake51.sh last:1 $MARIA_WORK
bakery/autobake51-bintar.sh mariadb-{version_num}-maria-beta-ourdelta{number}.tar.gz

MariaDB starting with 5.5

If the binaries are already built, you can generate a binary tarball with

make package
