I believe it adds a replace command to yum. I've started installing it on my systems but never actually messed around with it. But yes, I'd expect those errors if you just tried to install the mysql55 packages.

Thank you for your reply:

I thought I had tried using the mysql55 and mysql-server55. Anyway, when I did, it found something, but eventually resulted in this (a sample of the error message):

Transaction Check Error:
  file /etc/my.cnf from install of mysql55-libs-5.5.25-1.ius.el5.i386 conflicts with file from package mysql-libs-5.5.20-1.el5.remi.i386

Would the yum-plugin-replace deal with this?

Oh, and yes, I made sure that I copied databases and schema before attempting this.

The packages in IUS are named differently so they don't automatically upgrade any core redhat/centos packages.

You're looking for mysql55 and mysql55-server packages.

There is a package in IUS, yum-plugin-replace, that may assist you in upgrading a package that was named differently like this though I personally haven't tried it. Maybe one of the maintainers of IUS can give you more specific instructions.

In any case, since you're likely dealing with an important database, make sure you back up before attempting.

Subject: [Ius-community] attempting to upgrade mysql-server using ius repo

Hello,

I just joined this group and have a question. I am trying to update mysql-server 5.5.20 to 5.5.25. I added the ius repos and then issue a command to see what mysql components are available:

yum --enablerepo=ius list mysql mysql-server

The results are this:

mysql.i386                         5.5.20-1.el5.remi                   installed
mysql-server.i386                  5.5.20-1.el5.remi                   installed

I have gone to the ius website and checked the repos and find 5.5.24 here:

http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/repoview/applications.databases.group.html

What am I missing that will enable me to do a regular yum update using the ius repository so that I can upgrade mysql-server.

Many thanks.


mysql55-server-5.5.24-1.ius.el5.x86_64<http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/mysql55-server-5.5.24-1.ius.el5.x86_64.rpm>
