Arch Linux User Repository

Warning

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.1/en/downgrading.html

Downgrade from MySQL 8.1 to MySQL 8.0 or earlier is not supported. The only supported alternative is to restore a backup taken before upgrading. It is therefore imperative that you back up your data before starting the upgrade process.

MySQL 8.0 is available in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mysql80

This is the last update for the 5.7 series. A new package called mysql57 was uploaded to continue releases for the 5.7 series.

From the next update this package will go to version 8.0

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ - big jump!

Before upgrading, are manual actions needed?

@rashi and @markoff

Be sure your system is up to date and build the package in a clean chroot.

Currently it builds fine using extra-x86_64-build

@Muflone, are you doing anything to fix the problem rashi had? Because I'm having exactly the same problem.

I maintain my own repository for the mysql, mysql55 and mysql56 packages, built in clean chroot and signed with official Arch Linux key (therefore no need to import an extraneous key or keyring)

[muflone-mysql]
SigLevel = Required
Server = https://www.muflone.com/repositories/archlinux/$repo/$arch

mysql is included in ArchlinuxCN repository. Please add these

[archlinuxcn] Server = http://repo.archlinuxcn.org/$arch

Once the repo is added, archlinuxcn-keyring package must be installed before mysql so you do not get errors about PGP signatures.

Also if you want to try bleeding edge mariadb-git, you can also find it in the repo.

You can also download the package with the latest version of MySQL precompiled here: << https://goo.gl/sN2yig >> Instructions for installing are in the repository. HAVE FUN!

I'm trying to install this mysql package (v5.7.20-1) in Antergos linux and kept failed with this error message:

I have made sure my system is up-to-date and I don't have mariadb and libmariasbclient installed.

Fed up with many retries which takes a lot of time to compile, I finally gave up and installed mariadb instead.

@francoism90 that's correct! even the mariadb doesn't launch the mysql_secure_installation, only prints a message to ask the user to execute it, only during the first package installation
