Avahi-novice question: the version of avahi that is formally supported
by my distribution (RHEL5) is at version 0.6.16. What is considered
best practice if I want to be using the latest version of Avahi on a
given system? Should I:
* "yum remove avahi" and then build from the source tarball
* wait for the provider to get to updating avahi
* disable the system's version and then build/install the source
tarball in parallel (/opt/blah or /usr/local/blah)
Or is there another option I've missed? I'd kind of like the third
option, since ideally I could develop with the latest stuff and then try
it with the "formally distributed" stuff to see if anything breaks.
A Red Hat-specific question: will I need to remove/disable multiple
packages, or is there a one-command-does-it-all option?
Thanks!
