I have been away from Redhat for a while, (since redhat 9), so I am no expert on RHEL5.

Note: This is brand new server with a fresh install of RHEL5.

What I am attempting to do is upgrade MySQL.

Current version installed is:

CODE

# yum info mysql
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
rhel-x86_64-server-vt-5   100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00
rhel-x86_64-server-supple 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00
rhel-x86_64-server-5      100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
Name   : mysql
Arch   : x86_64
Version: 5.0.22
Release: 2.2.el5_1.1
Size   : 5.7 M
Repo   : installed
Summary: MySQL client programs and shared libraries.

I would like to upgrade to MySQL 5.1.22. I would think this would a simple task. However I would like to do it the redhat way instead of my way.

Here is what yum tells me:

CODE

# yum update mysql
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
rhel-x86_64-server-vt-5   100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00
rhel-x86_64-server-supple 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00
rhel-x86_64-server-5      100% |=========================| 1.2 kB    00:00
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Could not find update match for mysql
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

If anyone has suggestions or a HowTo to follow I would be grateful.

Thanks.

Last I heard , MySQL 5.1 was still a release candidate. If it DIDN'T go final, thats why its not in the yum depository
