This is a tracking bug for Change: Switch distribution default version of MySQL from 8.4 to 9.7 For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/MySQL_9.7 MySQL packages in Fedora use a versioned layout (e.g. mysql8.4, mysql9.7), where each version provides versioned sub-packages. One version at a time is designated the "distribution default" and additionally provides unversioned package names (e.g. mysql-server, mysql-devel). This change switches the distribution default from MySQL 8.4 to MySQL 9.7 in Fedora 45. If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
The Change was implemented in the MySQL packages: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql8.4/c/7f0ab3774e4040691053fff7eddd53533f142554?branch=rawhide https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql9.7/c/0a34b2c1544206347fea03443251a125711cf8c4?branch=main built: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=148165068 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=148165071 and reached Rawhide: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-796d261b37 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-fc5860b7df The significant release bump is international to make the change easy to spot for humans in test environments and user reports. Now the dependent packages has to be rebuilt: mysql-connector-odbc mysql-connector-python perl-DBD-MySQL
Dependent packages: perl-DBD-MySQL : DONE mysql-connector-odbc : DONE mysql-connector-python : IN PROGRESS - needs non-trivial rebase to 9.7 version - work in progress: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mysql-connector-python/pull-request/8 In my opinion, the mysql-connector-python does not block this change. The package was somewhat neglected for years already - it never even got rebase for MySQL 8.4 series. I believe it's okay to solve the rebase in it's own time. I won't be available until August 24th. I will revisit it after that.
