build process - Should I install newest SCons version in Centos 5.4? -


i'm planning new build system our project running on centos 5.4. intend use scons. noticed latest stable scons version 2.0.1 while centos 5.4 comes 1.2.

i'm new scons i'd understand more features/stability ratio between versions.

would recommend installing , using latest version or sticking comes os repository?

since 1.2 changes have been bug fixes , documentation improvements. there haven't been new features.

the 2.x version of scons drops support python versions older 2.4, updating of internal code use newer idioms without affecting user visible apis. that's reason major version number change. if centos comes recent version of python won't affect either way.

there have been lot of fixes newer versions of various microsoft compiler versions, won't affect centos install.

the bug fixes since scons 1.2.0 solve problems in fortran, tex , latex builders. if make use of fortran or latex worth upgrading. otherwise think hard pushed spot day-to-day difference between 1.2.0 , 2.0.1.
