Greeting everyone, I've been using RedHat since 1996 and have recently made the jump to version 8.0
In the past, I would download .tar.gz files and install programs that I was interested in "by hand", but want to see if I can use https://rhn.redhat.com/ (the Red Hat Network) and up2date for 99% of my programs...because I believe it will help me keep more up to date with security concerns, etc. Anyways, I'm currently using spamassassin-2.31-16 which shipped with RedHat 8.0. I'd like to "upgrade" that to a more recent version. http://spamassassin.org/downloads.html tells me of some RPMS made availble, but it looks like they are for RedHat 7.3. So what should I do? How should I upgrade spamassassin without messing up the benefits of rhn and up2date? 2nd question: Same as the first, but with perl instead. I've got perl-5.8.0-55 installed (came with RedHat 8.0), but it seems to output wierd warnings about unicode, etc. Again, in past I've downloaded the tarball from perl.com (ie: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/src/5.0/stable.tar.gz) and compliled and installed. Here my concern is dependencies for other RPMS, etc. So again, looking for suggestions on what I should do. Thanks for any real-world input! :) mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
