Suhani Goel strengthened upgrade reliability for Percona Server on Fedora 42 by addressing a critical migration issue in the percona/percona-server repository. She implemented a targeted fix for the MariaDB to MySQL 9.3.0 upgrade path, introducing an Obsoletes tag for mariadb-client-utils within the RPM packaging process to resolve dependency conflicts encountered during major version migrations. This solution, tracked under Bug#37798784, was verified across upgrade scenarios to ensure a seamless transition and reduce downtime for users. Suhani’s work demonstrated expertise in database migration, RPM packaging, and Specfile management, contributing to improved system stability and user satisfaction during upgrades.
