To read :

This build use a spec file close to the one from F18

WARNING: before upgrading, a full backup of your databases seems mandatory (a logical dump using mysqldump for example).

 

Simple to install, via yum:

yum --enablerepo=remi update mysql-server

For whose who prefer the download and manual installation, see the repository

Running the mysql_upgrade command is mandatory. It checks all tables in all databases for incompatibilities with the current version of MySQL Server. If a table is found to have a possible incompatibility, it is checked. If any problems are found, the table is repaired. In all case, reading the documentation is recommended:

Packages available for fedora ≥ 13. With fedora ≥ 15, service is managed by systemd (fedora 16 only for official packages).

Packages available for enterprise linux ≥ 5 (running on this server).
