Description:
You have a new yum repo for mysql-community rpms.
You provide download links for RHEL6 / OEL6 / CentOS 6 etc at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/ but this has to be downloaded manually.

How to repeat:
See the link on the url shown.

Suggested fix:
If you are going to Make an rpm for MySQL workbench which you have already then please add it to the repo, or make a separate yum repo for it.

I would suggest for simplicity adding this to the same repo.
Then forward people to the page which mentions the repo so they can set it up for downloading this program. This simplifies installation and updating.

Hi Simon,

as indicated in yum repo documentation:
 http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/

MySQL Workbench 6 is already included in MySQL Yum Repository.

After enabling repo you should be able to install MySQL Workbench 6 rpm package by name:

$ yum install mysql-workbench-community

or by provide:

$ yum install mysql-workbench

As usual

$ yum update

will update MySQL Workbench to latest release.

Note: currently MySQL 5.6 and MySQL Workbench are located in the same repo, this might change in the future.

MySQL Workbench is part of MySQL Yum Repository.

Please see: 

 http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/

with links to enable needed repository and install MySQL Workbench.

Closing ticket.
