You also have the option to manually edit the sources. Shell> sudo yum-config-manager -enable mysql57-community-dmr Shell> sudo yum-config-manager -disable mysql56-community The documented way to change this to 5.7 is:

The default version of MySQL enabled with the repo will be MySQL 5.6 GA. For example on Enterprise Linux 6, the command is: If the file is in some other directory, simply pass its location as shown by the following command. You can copy the URL from the download page directly into a yum localinstall command. sudo yum localinstall The above command will install the given package from the specified rpm file. Installing the repoĪll versions of MySQL are downloaded via a single repo file, which can be downloaded from. The MySQL manual documents how you can enable 5.7, but I wanted to also provide a quick demonstration since using yum sub-repositories is a new concept to me. Rpm -freshen will ignore any rpms that are not installed previously while giving no output at all.In case you missed Norvald’s post, the official yum repos now support the 5.7 development releases! Rpm -install will throw exit code depending on the number of failed packages. I guess one option would be to iterate over them in a shell script and check if they are installed or not, but then again dependency resolution might become rather painful and it does sound like re-inventing a bike. Is there a rpm -i equivalent that would achieve that? Please take note that this is done on a group of rpm packages that might at any point include additional ones. I don't want to ignore exit code if there are any real problems here, and just want to do install-or-update. The problem with this is that update will skip the packages that are not installed. I can run yum update (exit code 0) sudo yum update packages/* -y -disablerepo=* When the same thing is run the second time as part of automated scripts, it throws an error (exit code 1) packages/package.rpm: does not update installed package. When installing rpm packages from local file directory it runs fine the first time sudo yum install packages/* -y -disablerepo=*

Yum localinstall
