Today I received a notification from yum-cron with these updates (CentOS 7);

curl.x86_64 7.29.0-42.el7_4.1 updates
libcurl.x86_64 7.29.0-42.el7_4.1 updates
libcurl-devel.x86_64 7.29.0-42.el7_4.1 updates

However I have curl installed normally with CustomBuild:

Latest version of curl: 7.56.1
Installed version of curl: 7.56.1

--

curl 7.56.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.56.1 OpenSSL/1.0.2k zlib/1.2.7 nghttp2/1.27.0
Release-Date: 2017-10-23

What to do with the yum update (which is an older version)? Isn't CustomBuild supposed to take care of this? :)
 
Custombuild has nothing to do with yum, so no it's not supposed to take care of this.
The Custombuild version is indeed newer.

The yum version of curl has a load of dependencies, including yum itself. So I leave both in place. It's no harm. :)
 
What I do to be on the "safe side", is whenever there is a new curl update in yum, then afterwards I recompile curl in custombuild. It might not be needed, but does no harm, and I feel safer that way.

That's a good thing to do :) Curl 7.57 was just released today so a recompile is needed anyway :rolleyes: It still feels weird to have two versions.. I know PHP is using the one from CB but which app/software is using the outdated Yum one? There is another topic about this:
