Am trying to install mysql 5.6 on fedora 27. I need 5.6 or 5.5 specifically to run openmrs. I've followed the tutorial at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/linux-installation-yum-repo.html. However, for some reason after adding the yum repository i cannot select the 5.6 release. I can disable the 5.7 release with;
sudo dnf-config-manager --disable mysql57-community
I can't enable the 5.6 release with;
sudo dnf-config-manager --enable mysql56-community
The package is just not provided after adding the repository. Wondering if anyone has succeeded or if there is another way. Thanks
