Cooker has 3.0.4 you could rebuild the src rpm if you liked, but personally I
do not see the point. Just because 3.0.4 is out does not mean that 2.4 no
longer works.
If there was a security vulnerability with 2.4 there would be an update.
If there was some new feature in 3.0.4 you wanted to use, then there would a
point in upgrading.
If you do upgrade you had better read the release notes. It looks as if the
configuration file format has changed a bit.
Thanks Derek!
