Hi all,
I have a question related to yum groupinstall. I just tried a:
yum groupinstall "MySQL Database"
I expected that I would end up with a MySQL Database server, but it installed a bunch of .rpms *except* mysql-server. No big deal, I'm just curious if it was intended this way or not, that's all.
$ sudo yum -y groupinfo "MySQL Database"
...
Group: MySQL Database Required Groups: Base Mandatory Packages: mysql Default Packages: mysql-devel MyODBC unixODBC mysqlclient10 MySQL-python libdbi-dbd-mysql perl-DBD-MySQL Optional Packages qt-MySQL mysql-bench qt-ODBC mysql-server mod_auth_mysql php-mysql
mysql-server is in the Optional Packages section; as such, it doesn't get installed by default. that's a decision made upstream.
