Being Newer Than Red Hat

[rardoe at rarcom.com (Chris Tresco)]

You can build an rpm package from the source code you are going to
compile...there are a lot of docs on how to do that.  This way you
should be ok.

Subject: Being Newer Than Red Hat


Strategy question.  What is the best way to install a newer version of
something I already have from Red Hat?  Specifically, I have cvs
1.11.1p1 from Red Hat but want to upgrade to 1.11.2.  Do I overwrite
the old /usr/bin version and risk confusing Red Hat when I eventually
attempt an upgrade to a newer version of Red Hat?  Do I install a new
/usr/local/bin version and hope I don't get confused between the two?


Thanks,

-kb
