Re: SLES 15 - Adding MySQL 8.1 repository to zypper

[Philip Olson]

It worked for me:

First, I installed an old one (-5 instead of -7):

philip@localhost:~/Downloads> sudo rpm -Uvh mysql80-community-release-sl15-5.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ################################# [100%]
Updating / installing...
1:mysql80-community-release-sl15-5 ################################# [100%]

Then performed the suggested 'zypper update' command:

philip@localhost:~/Downloads> sudo zypper update mysql80-community-release
Building repository 'MySQL Connectors Community' cache ....................................................................................................................[done]

The following package is going to be upgraded:

1 package to upgrade.
Overall download size: 13.1 KiB. Already cached: 0 B. After the operation, additional 3.5 KiB will be used.

And now see 'innovation' releases available when they were not visible when using -5.
