Hello YUM mailing list, I tried looking in the YUM archives for this, but I do not know how to search the archives. I tried a Google search, yum want version site:lists.dulug.duke.edu but I have not figured out good enough key words to zero in on what I want. Sorry to bother everyone with this question: I want MySQL version 4, but YUM installed version 3. How do I get version 4? Do I simply circumvent YUM -- download and install the rpm's the old-fashioned way? Or do I set up a local repository? (The solution should be simple.) This question would obviously apply generically to any rpm package. If you are wondering why I want version 4 so much, I am folloing the examples in my book, "Teach Yourself MySQL", and the book is based on version 4. I believe that using the same version as the book will make the learning experience faster and less challenging. Thanks, Rick Graves displaced American currently residing in Hong Kong
