I was doing some clean Oracle Linux 6 and 7 installs today and look what I noticed in the yum repository for OL6.
Available Packages oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall.x86_64 1.0-1.el6 public_ol6_latest oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64 1.0-13.el6 public_ol6_latest oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall.x86_64 1.0-14.el6 public_ol6_latest
And for OL7.
Available Packages oracle-database-server-12cR2-preinstall.x86_64 1.0-2.el7 ol7_latest oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall.x86_64 1.0-4.el7 ol7_latest oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall.x86_64 1.0-5.el7 ol7_latest
A quick look at the repos and it first turned up in September. I’m surprised I’ve not noticed it before now…

Hello, Tim
12c R2 is still not available for download. Do you know where it will be?
Nick: No idea I’m afraid. Even people at Oracle are keeping that one close to their chests. 🙂 You can get a free trial of the Oracle Database Cloud Service and start playing with 12cR2 now. If you were just interested in development, then you could try livesql.oracle.com.
Cheers

Thank you, Tim.
