The only reason to build your own would be if you are running an application that needs a different version than the stock rpms. If you build something non-standard you'll have to watch for security and bug fixes yourself and do rebuilds instead of letting yum keep everything up to date for you. There have been problems in various releases of mod_perl but I think php has always worked and the security fixes have been timely. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
