In my experiences with Fedora, they tend to keep the same version of
MapServer that the OS version was released with (so Fedora 9 has 5.0.2,
or something like that, by default). As I want to use the latest
version, I build it for myself. I bet that distributions tend to stay
with what they had when first released for map compatibility reasons.
It would be something to discuss with your distributions package
maintainers.

wait,
osgeo4w has 5.0.2 (http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-mapserver)
(like debian and ubuntu)
but ms4w has 5.2.0 (http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml)
fedora 10 will have 5.2.0
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4354)
seems to me that the changelog shows enough reasons to use 5.2 instead
of 5.0, although major and minor things get mixed up in all this text.
it would be nice to be able to see what the major improvements are,
maybe add a little overview of the major stuff at the top?

Anyways, i still don't understand what is keeping people from using
the latest version.
Is there some dependency in the way?
cheers,

Why do debian lenny and ubuntu 8.10 only have mapserver 5.0.3 in
their package lists?
MS4W has 5.2.0, this is feeling all wrong!
