Repository locations¶
Repository location may contain two parts: a repository and a component.
Components¶
By using a component you may choose to use either the GA version of the selected
product or its beta version. percona-release recognizes release (used by
default), testing, and experimental components.
| Component | Usage |
|---|---|
release |
Stores released GA packages of products. |
testing |
Is used for final QA and package testing for GA candidate packages of products. |
experimental |
Hosts alpha and beta releases of products |
For example, to prepare your system for installation of Percona Server for MySQL
8.0, run percona-release as follows:
$ sudo percona-release enable-only ps-80 release
To enable pre-release builds from the testing repository, run percona-release
with the testing component.
$ sudo percona-release enable ps-80 testing
This example enables installing a pre-release version of Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.
