You can just install from the default package repositories on Rocky Linux. The
distro follows the same update policy that CentOS had, meaning that software
versions will never change unless you upgrade the OS version itself. The
maintainers only integrate security fixes and they do so by
Compiling by hand should really be your last resort; distros provide means
to merge any changes needed to the configuration files. Some provide .new
files that you can diff, even.
Further, using the distro package means that you get security updates,
provided that you don't use an EOL release.
I personally prefer to install it by compiling the source myself. It's not
hard. and then I can control what modules/features are compiled into it. So
you will understand what features you have enabled rather than just
installing everything. I can also install it in a central location as the

I'll see if automatic updates are implemented. On my Fedora workstation they do
happen automatically and I have been burned on occasion.
