I am running centos6.4. Where do I find the updated gnutls packages? I see the updated source file here: http://vault.centos.org/6.5/updates/Source/SPackages/ But I don't see the correct version of the packages in the 6.4 tree here: http://vault.centos.org/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/ Where should I be looking for the updated package for 6.4? Thanks. -- -MichaelC

If you update (yum update) then you will be on 6.5 and that will have the latest version. Note that the latest binary releases are not in vault (as vault is for older archived stuff). Peter

CentOS-6.4 and CentOS-6.5 are just point in time snapshots of the CentOS-6 distribution. As such, CentOS only supports the latest snapshot in production. Red Hat backports updates (security, bug fix, and enhancements) to try to ensure that things which run on EL6.3 also run on EL6.5, etc. See the backport explanation: https://access.redhat.com/site/security/updates/backporting/ So, CentOS-6.5 is just 6.4 (or 6.3 or 6.2 or 6.1 or 6.0) plus all updates. Red Hat does provide some Extended Update Support: http://www.redhat.com/products/enterprise-linux-add-ons/extended-update-support/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

So you might consider installing the gnutls update from the SL 6.4 updates instead, or rebasing to SL completely. This is one of the few really significant differences between SL and CentOS; the SL user base wants to be able to get security updates without a complete 'point release' update, too, and have put forth the nontrivial effort required to actually make that happen. I'm using CentOS myself, but if you need that particular feature of SL it may be the better choice for you.
