After a bit of hiccup, I am pleased to be back to announce the ongoing release of v17.x appliances. Because of the bug, the previously released v17.0 appliances have been patched with a bugfix and re-released as v17.1. They also include all the latest Debian packages.
In the wake of the "mini-nightmare" (to quote a user) that was the Debian MariaDB auto removal fiasco; we're back with ~70 updated appliances (all the ones with MySQL/MariaDB). They include all the latest Debian packages.
