The instructions on this page were used to create the galera package on the Fedora Linux distribution. This package contains the wsrep provider for MariaDB Galera Cluster.

The following table lists each version of the Galera 4 wsrep provider, and it lists which version of MariaDB each one was first released in. If you would like to install Galera 4 using yum, apt, or zypper, then the package is called galera-4.

The following table lists each version of the Galera 3 wsrep provider, and it lists which version of MariaDB each one was first released in. If you would like to install Galera 3 using yum, apt, or zypper, then the package is called galera.

The following table lists each version of the Galera 2 wsrep provider, and it lists which version of MariaDB each one was first released in.

For convenience, a galera package containing the preferred wsrep provider is included in the MariaDB YUM and APT repositories (the preferred versions are bolded in the table above).
