Are there any plans to load mysql 5.6.X for redhat 6?

Hello Claudia,

Thanks for taking the time to contact IUS. When Oracle first released MySQL 5.6, our trusted DBAs had several concerns with 5.6 and thought it was not ready for production. With each new release, it has gotten better. We have done some work on mysql56u packages, and they have been available in the development repos.* Earlier this week, I was working on mysql56u-5.6.15 packages and they should be hitting the development repos tomorrow. I will be looking to get feedback from our trusted DBAs.

We do have the following open bug regarding msyql56u, but we have not been doing the greatest job with posting updates:

* Last night, we had an automation issue and currently there are no mysql56u packages in the development repos.

Ben,

Thank you for your quick reply. We downloaded mysql and will be testing in the next few weeks.

Thanks again,

Claudia
