Hi,

 

I am currently replacing my old Hylafax server to a new hardware with CentOS 4.2 (x86_64). Since CentOS 4.2 (and probably RHEL4) is shipping with libtiff-3.6.1-8, I'm wondering if this version of libtiff has the patch mentioned in the hylafax bugzilla http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=500 and/or is it compatible with the latest Hylafax 4.2.5 (i read libtiff-3.6.1 is mentioned in the release notes as having a fatal flaw).

 

It will be against the main purpose of using an enterprise linux if I am to update

this library myself. There are binary packages for RHEL3/4, not sure whether they are compiled with libtiff-3.6.1-8 too. I can run 'rpm --test ...' on my new machine with the Fedora Core 3 (x86_64) but I haven't decided whether to go ahead or not.

 

Thank you.
