haveing the lates version of any software is nice. using any source other than centos repo's might break the update proces if other software depends on a version you upgraded from other sources.
example packege foobar.1.0.0.1.rpm deppends on packege foo.bar.1.0.0.1.rpm. if you installed foo.bar.1.0.0..2 from another source an update will effectively downgrade foo.bar to 1.0.0.1 cos yum/rpm doesn't know about the 1.0.0.2 version you installed.

Enable the Centos Plus respository by editing the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo, so that the relevant section reads:
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
The you should find that when you do a 'yum update', firefox will be upgraded to 1.5.0.2.

It is a lot safer to keep it disabled, and do a
yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade firefox
because centos-plus may also upgrade other packages, like php.

Cool! You can also use yumex if you prefer to click a checkbox rather than change a 0 to a 1 in a file. :-) ftp://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/4.3/extras/i386/RPMS/

And because we all know technology is perverse, vindictive, comedic and unreliable, you should maintain complete control (IMO) by doing what so many others have suggested (IIRC), similar to the below.
In CentOS-Base.repo, for [base] and [update] add lines similar to this
excludepkgs = firefox
and in [centosplus] add a line like this
includepkgs = firefox
This prevents any updates to the base release from wiping out the version from plus.
GUI!? We don't need no stinkin' GUI! ;-) If you step in GUI, it probably *does* stink!

its just exclude= not excludepkgs ( check man yum.conf )

i believe the includepkgs got named such since the 'include' keyword includes a segment of config file from elsewhere.

Correctomundo! When I composed the reply, I just copied the "includepkgs" line thrice and then I forgot to drop "pkgs" when I overtyped "include" with "exclude".

Bill ... although, consistency would be nice :)
(includepkgs= should go with excludepkgs= ... "yum install" and "yum remove" (instead of erase :) ...
But ... we have what we have. And yum is quite nice ... even with the inconsistencies :)

Ever since I re-read the yum manuals and other docs, I have totally abandoned yumex as not needed. May be just my predilection towards CLI rather than GUI, but I prefer to think of it as reduction of bloat. :-)
I'll still make mistakes and have to refer to the manual(s) occasionally, but I'm happy with it. Perfect? Nope. So it matches me there too! =>:-O
