Description:
The Download MySQL Yum Repository page at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/ currently states:

[CUT]
MySQL Yum repository supports the following Linux Distros:

 * Red Hat/Oracle Enterprise Linux
 * Fedora
[CUT]

Additionally, the descriptions of the downloadable packages refer to "Red Hat/Oracle Enterprise Linux 6".

Please note that the correct brand names are "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6" and "Oracle Linux 6"

How to repeat:
Check the Yum repo download page, observe the wrong product names being used.

Suggested fix:
I suggest to change the description as follows:

[CUT]
The MySQL Yum repository currently supports the following Linux Distributions:

 * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / Oracle Linux 6
 * Fedora Linux 18 / Fedora Linux 19
[CUT]

Additionally, the package description should be updated as follows:

"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 / Oracle Linux 6 (Architecture Independent), RPM Package"
