ATTENTION, creators of mysql-connector-ooo.oxt (--enable-ext-mariadb-connector)

[Dan Lewis]

Top post: I am the one that created the Linux 32 bit and 64 bit version 
of the extension. However, I no longer have 24/7 access to the Internet 
so I can not create the updates to either extension. Please advise.
