Subject: | CVS on RHEL5 (custom compile or package install) |

I’m setting up a new code repository box for all the
standard reasons, faster hardware, better backups, more storage, better
flexibility, etc. Any opinions on why I should or shouldn’t DL the
source, ./configure;make;make test;make install, versus installing via
yum? Unfortunately I don’t have the history on how the
original box was built, so if custom compile flags were used I’ll have to
figure that out as I go along. And clearly if they are needed, then I
will have to compile, but if I can get away with a package that I can more
easily update I’m all for that. I’m not a developer,
just someone who putzes around in Perl when needed, but a lot of years in unix admin. I have been on the list for a few months and I don’t
think this is out of line with being on-topic, but if I am in the wrong section,
please let me know and I’ll move the conversation elsewhere. Thanks, Dan |
