How can I update yum list of available MySQL packages?

Question

I have MySQL 5.6 installed on cent os. I am trying to update it to 5.7, but yum packages contain only mysql57-community-dmr version, not mysql57-community, seems like my list of packages is outdated, is there any way to update it?

Answer 1

First, check that you have the MySQL repo enabled:

yum repolist enabled | grep "mysql.*-community.*"

Then do this:

yum clean all

and then re-check for updates using yum.
