I know the Centos philosophy. I have a number of Centos servers here and building more. My mail server is Scalix running on Centos. The AAH people (actually one person according to the sourceforge page) has done a great you adding the best Asterisk products on top of Centos. The libtiff-3.6.1-10 is from Centos 4.3. Sometime back Centos had libtiff 3.6.0 which the spandsp author said works well and that 3.6.1 is broken. So those of us doing a new install are finding out that faxing is not working. So I (and many others) have to replace libtiff with either the older working version or 3.8.2. And when AAH 2.9 comes out with finally an update mechanism (instead of a reinstall), hopefully the right libtiff will be in the AAH iso.
