With the release of 1.5.9 are there any plans to update the package available in EPEL repository? My caching servers are on CentOS 6 and have 1.5.1 installed from the epel repo. Prior to 1.5.1 I recall new versions appearing regularly.
Unfortunately, no. Because unbound moved into core RHEL, and so updates will happen within RHEL and the EPEL package is now retired and cannot be updated to be a higher version than what's in RHEL. Although currently, that is the case because EPEL was newer than what was in RHEL7, and the RHEL6 packages are just clones of the RHEL7 ones. (the reason unbound became part of RHEL was because libreswan replaced openswan in RHEL-6.8, and we needed to keep that package and its dependencies the same) If people with a RHEL subscription file a bug to ask for an upgraded version, that would help me push for unbound updates in RHEL6/RHEL7.
