Anybody have #mysql upgrade repo instructions for #CentOS6 that don't involve remi? remi had a bad PHP issue this summer, so now people are skittish. #RHEL6 has their #RHEL collections, but I need something specific to #CentOS 6. I know *I* could recompile or use the MySQL community repos, but those aren't going to work for everyone. The MySQL community instructions might work for this other person. I need to check.
#puppet, #chef, or #ansible? Puppet has their own repos for #CentOS 6 and 7. Ansible is already in 7. Chef is in neither by default, so it seems like chef is out. I already installed puppet on a couple, else chef might be better. Would be nice if the repos were the same and it could just detact your version. Maybe #DNF does this? I haven't touched #Fedora in like 7 years until today, not that I did much with it.
