What's the difference between MySQL 5.6.38 and "5.6.38-log"

I have several servers with different virtualization and CentOS 6 and 7, and some have MySQL 5.6.38 and others show 5.6.38-log. Why is that? In the same fashion, some servers which are up to date with the Release branch of cPanel have 10.1.30-MariaDB and others are on 10.1.31-MariaDB. May be due to some rpm issue? Please advice. Thanks in advance!

  Thanks. It came up that those servers had upcp config for OS update in manual mode. That explains it. As per the main question on what does mean the -log part in 5.6.38-log for MySQL, hope anybody have a clue.

  Hello, MySQL documents this at: MySQL :: MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual :: 5.1.5 Server System Variables Here's the relevant quote: [QUOTE]

  • The version number for the server. The value might also include a suffix indicating server build or configuration information. -log indicates that one or more of the general log, slow query log, or binary log are enabled. -debug indicates that the server was built with debugging support enabled.

  
  Thank you.
