It's not "luck"--it's intentional. RHEL deliberately follows older, more stable versions of software, because RH tests the bejeezus out of their releases. By extension CentOS also follows older, more stable versions of sofotware. Therefore if you want bleeding edge versions of unstable software, you likely need to do it yourself, because that software probably isn't in CentOS. And if you frequently want bleeding edge versions, you probably want to put a different distro on that box, because otherwise you'll spend lots of time fighting the distro. (Sometimes this can be worked around by getting software from third-party repositories, but not always.) --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
