Description nathan r. hruby 2006-03-15 00:47:42 UTC

Description of problem:

lftp in RHEL4 is version 3.0.6, released on 2004-06-12.  Current version is
3.4.0 which was released on 2005-12-31.  This version has *many* bugfixes and
includes DAV support.  Please consider upgrading lftp for the next Update spin.
 Also note this will require perl-String-CRC32 to be added for dependancies.

Thanks!

Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2006-03-15 16:41:36 UTC

We are not allowed to upgrade any software in RHEL to a version number change - 
all fixes must be backported for specific bugs. If you'd like to raise a
bugzilla for each lftp bug that you want fixed, I can backport changes from
3.4.x to 3.0.6 to fix each bug.
Alternatively, you could simply install the lftp-3.4.2-1.EL4 and
perl-String-CRC32-1.3-1.EL4 RPMs from :
  http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/lftp/RHEL-4/
There are binary i386 RPMs there, and the SRPM, so if you need lftp for a 
different architecture, then :
  $ rpmbuild --rebuild lftp-3.4.2-1.EL4.src.rpm
  $ rpmbuild --rebuild perl-String-CRC32-1.3-1.EL4.src.rpm
These RPMs will not be "officially supported" by Red Hat, but I as the lftp
and perl-String-CRC32 package maintainer do undertake to support them.

Comment 2 Jason Vas Dias 2006-03-17 23:09:49 UTC

Well, I'll hand this over to PM for consideration - can we update lftp to 3.4.x
in RHEL-4 ? I can't see any negative impact.

Comment 8 David Tonhofer 2007-10-30 13:23:11 UTC

lftp still at lftp-3.0.6-3 with no patches (i.e. the source has no patches as I
can see).

Comment 14 Jiri Skala 2008-10-14 06:11:54 UTC

Re-based to current RHEL5 version 3.7.3.

Comment 18 Jiri Skala 2010-02-23 09:44:08 UTC

There is no another issue. Don't recommend bump.
