Serious: WHY?

• Thaxll 8y ago
  It's either not in the base repo / unmaintained quickly. I remember running MySQL on Debian / CentOS couple of years ago it was a joke how old the versions were. You should always use the official repo ( with provided RPM / deb ) for that kind of app. Example for CentOS 7.x: yum info mysql-connector-java.noarch Name : mysql-connector-java Arch : noarch Epoch : 1 Version : 5.1.25 Release : 3.el7 Size : 1.3 M Repo : base/7/x86_64 Summary : Official JDBC driver for MySQL Quick look at when was this released: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/5.1/en/news-5-1-25.html https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/5.1/en/news-5... (2013-05-01) Almost 6 years old. Latest official version for 5.1.x was released 5 month ago: Changes in MySQL Connector/J 5.1.47 (2018-08-17)
