Hello. I just got a dedicated Fedora Core 1 box at my ISP. It is 'up to date' according to up2date and yum, but I know there are newer versions of some things, such as PHP(which I need to upgrade for security reasons), and MySQL(I want 4.x, not 3.x). These products were installed using the standard RPM packaging method. I can't find newer RPM's for php, and I'm thinking other packages may be the same way-- what's the recommended way to upgrade a box that an RPM doesn't exist for the newer version(yet?)? Maybe there are RPM's somewhere I'm not looking? I've tried rpmfind, and php's own site for a php upgrade, and found none.
I've always had bad luck trying to wing this sort of thing(libary version problems, etc.), so I figured I'd ask some people that work with FC regularly... Thanks.
