This page lists current Percona releases, newest first. Documentation on Features of Percona Server with XtraDB is also available.

Debian packages from Percona are signed with a key. Before using the repository, the key should be added to APT. To do that, run the following commands as a root user:

# gpg --keyserver  hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A
... [some output removed] ...
gpg:               imported: 1

# gpg -a --export CD2EFD2A | apt-key add -

Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://repo.percona.com/apt lenny main
deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt lenny main

Replace lenny with etch, lucid, karmic, jaunty, intrepid or hardy in the commands above, depending on your Debian distribution. You can use lsb_release -a to find your version; install the lsb-release package if the lsb_release program does not exist.

Do not forget to update the local cache:

# apt-get update

• x86_64 aka amd64
• i686

• lenny
• etch
• lucid
• karmic
• jaunty
• intrepid
• hardy

When you install the Percona RPM, it configures YUM to use the Percona repository, plus installs the key used for signing RPMs. Run the following as root:

[root@CentOS-5-x86-64 ~]# rpm -Uhv http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

[root@CentOS-5-x86-64 ~]# 

The manual configuration of a Percona YUM repository is described below. Run the following as root:

Create a file named Percona.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d with the following contents:

[percona]
name = CentOS $releasever - Percona
baseurl=http://repo.percona.com/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
enabled = 1
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-percona
gpgcheck = 1

Make sure packages are downloaded from the repository, e.g.:

[root@CentOS-5-x86-64 ~]# yum list | grep percona
percona-release.x86_64                     0.0-1                       installed
...
Percona-Server-client-51.x86_64            5.1.47-rel11.1.51.rhel5     percona  
Percona-Server-devel-51.x86_64             5.1.47-rel11.1.51.rhel5     percona  
Percona-Server-server-51.x86_64            5.1.47-rel11.1.51.rhel5     percona

...
maatkit.noarch                             5240-1                      percona  
xtrabackup.x86_64                          1.2-22.rhel5                percona  

Old packages are removed from the main repository, however it is still possible to find them.

There is an archive repository called percona-attic.

Create a file Percona-attic.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d with the following contents:

[percona-attic]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Percona
baseurl=http://repo.percona.com/centos-attic/$releasever/os/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1

• x86_64
• i386

• CentOS 4
• CentOS 5
• Amazon Linux 1.0 AMI

There is a repository containing pre-production releases.

Run the following as root. Install the Percona-rc RPM:

rpm -Uhv http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-rc-0.0-2.x86_64.rpm

Add two lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://repo.percona.com/apt-rc lenny main
deb-src http://repo.percona.com/apt-rc lenny main

Replace lenny with etch, lucid, karmic, jaunty, intrepid or hardy in the commands above, depending on your Debian distribution.
