mysql 5.5 installation "invalidate" support for rhel 6.5?
Hi guys, just for info,
it's possible install MySql 5.5 from "http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/" without lose support for operative system (RHEL 6.5) ? There is a specific procedure ?
Regards
Gabriele.

Is there a reason why you'd prefer installing an upstream version of MySQL 5.5 instead of the Red Hat packaged and supported version of MySQL 5.5 in Red Hat Software Collections?
Until this post I had never seen nor heard of RHSC.. not sure how I missed it!
That support item is pretty fresh so I am assuming the existence of it isn't widely know?
Is there a list of other packages that are going to be added in future? What is the best mechanism to raise requests for additional packages to be added?
Grrrr. that's definitely a shame on our part for not pushing it harder, but great to hear that you all are interested! As for a list of future packages, we don't publish that, but we are always looking for feedback on what packages to include given RHSCL has a shorter life cycle, and is more aggressive in includes compared to base RHEL.
Here is the life cycle for RHSCL:

I believe we will be putting out a survey asking for feedback, but one can always request a feature by filing a support case using the Red Hat Software Collections product. We also have associated products in Bugzilla.
Maybe tough to find? Let me know. Here are some cool posts/announcements:
