The
Remi Repo is a yum repository maintained by a French dude -
Remi Collet. It contains much more up to date packages (January 2012) such as MySQL 5.5 and PHP 5.3.
Heres how I installed it on CentOS.
su -
cd /etc
/yum.repos.d
wget http:
//rpms.famillecollet.com
/enterprise
/remi.repo
This file provides configuration for remi and remi-test repositories.
Note: The repository is not enabled on install (enabled=0). You need to enable it when you need it, for example :
yum
--enablerepo=remi
install mysql-server
or edit
/etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo and change
enabled=0 to
enabled=1 to enable it permanently.
