How long will Centos be supporting version 3? I just installed Centos 3.4 two weeks ago!
1 more week. ;-)
I hope you are kidding.
The only problem I'm having with Centos is that the perl is a bit old. I have errors with spamassassin. So far bugzilla for spamassasin is blaming it on the version of perl included in RHEL3 and bugs in the 'taint' code. I see that RHEL4 has newer Perl packages.
I have yet to have any issues with the SA package I built for CentOS.
I'm using SA 3.02. with razor 2.67.
If you do a spamassassin -r to report spam it fails with 'Insecure dependency in connect while running with -T switch at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/IO/Socket.pm line 114.'
I've read that it seems to be related to 'spamcop' reporting. Here is the spamassassin bug report I found: http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4118
It was closed with "Looks like this is just (at the least) a Perl5.8.1 issue. Upgrading Perl to 5.8.6 made the taint warning/error go away."
Also bug http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3899 was closed with "I upgraded the system in question to Fedora Core 2 and the problem disappeared. Weird! Perhaps there was something funky in a Perl library? Anyway, this is solved for me."
In order to install some of the newer stuff I used CPAN to install some modules. I noticed that Troy Engel said he rolled some custom RPM's for perl modules - should I not be installing via CPAN?
