As you know, I'm a gentooer, not a RH/Fedora/CentOS guy. However... Rpmfind.net seems to have packages from the "DAG packages for Red Hat Linux el6" repository for pan, which (because as JH says CentOS is a RHEL rebrand) will almost certainly work just fine on CentOS 6 as well. Looks like they're a bit dated, latest available is 0.135 (with 0.134 and 0.133 also available for el6 and earlier versions all the way back to before the C++ rewrite available for el5 and el4), but they're there. That's what I'd try -- back a decade ago when I still ran Mandrake, I used a lot of rawhide packages on it, including PAN IIRC, and apart from having to update a few deps from the same rawhide on rpmfind location, it worked just fine. If you run into any deps not available directly, they too should be available on rpmfind/DAG. http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pan Or more precisely limited to DAG packages... http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pan&system=dag You can plug in your arch as appropriate and do an even more limited search. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
