Hi,

Does anyone know of a source of RPM's for current
releases of Firefox that will run under CentOS Linux
(same as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, only cheaper)?
(YUM updates me to 1.0.8; FF is currently on 1.5.0.4)

If not, is there a way to roll my own RPM?

Well, you can certainly create your RPMs.

However doing so is not just a matter of pushing a few buttons.

See http://www.rpm.org

Learning how to create RPMs should take a few weeks. Learning how to create RPMs correctly will take a few years.

And that's assuming that you already have a technical/programming background and experience.



I was hoping for a utility, such as "rpm -ta firefox.xxx.tarball".
