Hi Andreas,

we use CentOS 5 and Red Hat 4/5 on all our servers. We are using the 
EPEL packages on some of our servers, but mapserver is still at 4.10, 
there. Anyway, we did not have real problems with that.

On most of our servers we use MapServer and PostGIS/GEOS with current 
upstream versions. Usually, I take packages from Fedora 9/10 and replace 
the source archive with the most current upstream version. Furthermore 
we do compile our own GDAL package, sonce we need ECW support.

Needless to say, we do not have problems with those packages, they fit 
well our needs. I can give you the SPEC file or the compiled binaries 
for CentOS 5.2.

If you want to be sure they work for RHEL 5.3, wait until the end of the 
week, I'm working on that these days.

Regards,

Peter
