Description:
MySQL 9.7 LTS is your latest stable release:

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/yum/ only shows MySQL 8.4 yum repo package configuration rpm intended to allow people to install and easily keep up to date  their packages.

No 9.7 LTS rpm rpm is made available.

How to repeat:
Look for the 9.7 LTS repo rpm setup package. It appears to be missing.

Suggested fix:
Provide 9.7 LTS equivalent rpms, so the repo configuration will allow downloading and installing 9.7 versions, and potentially older versions.

I prefer to let yum download and install as needed rather than manually downloading mysql-9.7.1-1.el10.x86_64.rpm-bundle.tar from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ where 9.7 LTS is the default option offered.

I currently have this installed:

mysql84-community-release-el10-2.noarch
mysql-community-common-8.4.10-1.el10.x86_64
mysql-community-client-plugins-8.4.10-1.el10.x86_64
mysql-community-libs-8.4.10-1.el10.x86_64
mysql-community-client-8.4.10-1.el10.x86_64
mysql-community-icu-data-files-8.4.10-1.el10.x86_64
mysql-community-server-8.4.10-1.el10.x86_64

so am looking for a mysql97-community-release-el10-X.noarch package which once installed should allow me to do a yum upgrade and pull in 9.7.

This seems related to bug#120315 which was auto-upgrading to 9.7 "without asking". I agree that's not appropriate.  However, if I do want to upgrade then I'd expect mysql97-community-release package to be available and usable.

I have the latest mysql84-community-release rpm, but do not seem to be able to move forward.

This patch seems to be enough
