nmap 4.11

[KDN]

The nmap that is on the fedora yum servers is 4.01, the current version is 4.11. anyone know when the new version will be on the yum servers? Is there a faq or something on how to submit stuff for the repositories?

I suppose you could fill out a bugzilla entry to nmap. I've found the
packagers tend to only update bug fixes, especialyl wit ha new
Fedora release on the horizen.

You can get rpms for nmap and the nmap front end at the nmap website:

They work fine with Fedora.

I'm trying to stay within the yum application stacks. I used to download everything and compile everything and set all the options, but I would rather spend the time using the stuff. But, if I could find out how to build the packages and learn how to submit them I'd be willing to do that. In that case it would not be a bother, more of a giving back to the ecosystem.

RPM is more powerfull than yum...
