Percona 5.6.X on Red Hat 8.x

MySQL & MariaDB Percona Server for MySQL 5.6
,
1

Greetings. We have Red Hat 8.5 / 8.6 nodes, but are tied to a specific version of Percona (5.6.45)
Are the dependencies for this in order? What set of steps is needed to get Percona-Server-client, Percona-Server-server, Percona-Server-shared, and Percona-Server-tokudb under RHEL 8.x?
We have relied on the baseurl in the past: baseurl=http://repo.percona.com/centos/7/os/$basearch/
But I don’t see anything RHEL 8-appropriate when browsing the parent. Is 5.6.x supported under RHEL?

Any leads are greatly appreciated.

Hello @wjb2130,
MySQL 5.6, and thusly Percona MySQL 5.6, are both completely dead. You won’t find any new support for this old MySQL version. In addition, TokuDB is also retired and you won’t find any new updates for this engine either. You are advised to upgrade to 5.7, or better, 8.0 for maximum support for current operating systems. It is further recommended to migrate from TokuDB to MyRocks.
