I am wondering about one thing... on page
http://mirrors-ru.go-parts.com/postfix/source/index.html I see that at
the moment versions 2.8 - 2.11 are stable and supported. So for them if
for example a security problem will be spotted it will be solved by some
patch. At the same time I see that for my CentOS 6.5 server the version
available from "updates" repository is 2.6.6 :)
So is this 2.6.6 properly patched (maybe by some CentOS guys? It's just
a guess :) ) or should I create my own rpm packages based on current
stable version and provided patches available on postfix webpage?
you have chosen a LTS distribution
so the version number is completly meaningsless
* no, it is *not* up-to-date, hence you use LTS
* yes, it is secure because critical bugfixes are backported
hence you use LTS
there are no "CentOS guys"
CentOS is a package by package and bug by bug rebuild of RHEL
in fact this is the wrong mailing list, here is upstream
