Well, for simplicity, RPMForge is probably the easiest, even if it
doesn't have the latest versions. Latest CentOS6 x64 version is 3.3.1.
rpmforge-extras has v3.3.2. Atomic also has it. Nobody has 3.4 yet.
3.4 was released over a month ago at this point and should not be a
difficult package to build. Maybe I'm just expecting too much. What is
the general lag time for an updated package to make it into the repo?
Guys,
What's the benefit from installing from RPM?
Is waiting for a distro's release better than:
download source,
unpack
perl Makefile.PL
make && make install && sa-update
IMPORTANT: if you do this and are running a rpm install, make sure to
remove it before installing from source or you'll have a bunch of
orphans....
If you want to install in non standard paths, there's command line switches.
Installing from source also allows you to do a quick upgrade from trunk
if you decide you need a that special bug fix which hasn't been released
by the distro..
