I installed Percona on a server today via the Percona repo with:

sudo yum install Percona-Server-client-55 Percona-Server-server-55 Percona-Server-devel-55 Percona-Server-shared-compat

It installed the following:
Percona-Server-shared-compat-5.1.68-rel14.6.551.rhel5
Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.40-rel36.1.el5
Percona-Server-server-55-5.5.40-rel36.1.el5
Percona-Server-devel-55-5.5.40-rel36.1.el5
Percona-Server-shared-55-5.5.40-rel36.1.el5

I have not seen any issues, but I was curious if anyone knows if the Percona-Server-shared-compat-5.1 is compatible with Percona-Server-server-55-5.5.40 that was installed.

On the x86_84 arch, I see there is a Percona-Server-shared-compat-5.5.24. However, attempting ‘sudo yum install Percona-Server-shared-compat-55’ gave “No package Percona-Server-shared-compat-55 available.”

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

As per build manager, yes, it is compatible - it’s used for older version of libraries which is required on some systems - we currently don’t have shared-compat package for newer PS versions.
