Hello,
I am looking for some advice on a way to update some packages to newer releases than are available in the standard CentOS repositories. Specifically, I am trying to update apache and PHP to conform to "Scanalert"'s "Hacker Safe" website security scan, and the required versions do not exist in the CentOS repositories. I'm using CentOS 5.
I wish to stay within the realm of yum, in order to avoid RPM-dependency-heck which I have experienced before, trying to source random third party RPMs that never work out properly. I also wish to keep the system in a better state of maintenance by sticking to yum. It's just more organized (and easier) and will help keep things up to date in the future as well.
Is there any other option than to go with a 3rd party repository to hopefully find later versions of apache and PHP? Does anybody have a recommended repository source?
Thank you for any help and advice you can give, -Jesse Cantara
