Older version of mysql-devel seems to be missing from Yum?

118 views Asked by At

I have been using mysql-devel-5.1.69-1.el6_4 from yum, and in the last day the only available option I can now see is mysql-devel-5.1.73-3.el6_5. Is there a way to get the older version from yum? Is this a regular thing to remove older versions? I would prefer to use the older version because I know it will work with my other libraries/code.

Many repository mirrors only mirror the most recent updated packages because that's what most people need and the disk space for older versions can be high.

If you really need a specific version (and I would generally suggest that you do not and should not rely on a version like that whenever possible) you should be able to get the older package from http://vault.centos.org .
