Is there a down side to using a 3rd party RPM on RHEL / CentOS over the packages version of 2.3. According to RHEL, they will be on 2.3 until they release 5.4 in Sept. 09. I would like to wait for someone to package a 2.6 RPM but don't want to run into any problems down the road. I have no idea how patches/ upgrades would work then. Anyone have any input on this?
