Yes, I have. Percona ( my standard build throws larrys MySQL out in preference to this ) is not very good with it's repo scripts... in fact with the latest update I have to manually update the repo definition for it to find the source at all for CentOS 6. They have a nasty habit of not restarting the rdbms after update. Monitoring software lets me know sharpish though! Nothing worse than that, and for those who don't want higher levels of maintenance this is ( my perception of ) the lowest risk for them. Maybe I should revert to the standard distro version, but upping to version 5.6 has so much going for it.
