Hi All,

I need to rebuild bash but I cannot find the source on Centos SRPM 6 repos.
It is there on the 5.7 ones (http://vault.centos.org/5.7/os/SRPMS/bash-3.2-32.el5.src.rpm) but not on the 6 ones. Am I missing something ?

Have a good day,

Yann

You could always use the upstream vendor version which is actually more recent than the CentOS 6 copy ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/bash-4.1.2-8.el6.src.rpm

Thanks !

By the way, you're actually making a good point since what I needed is to enable SYSLOG_HISTORY, which is only available on 4.1+....
