For instance I just ran up2date and found this:

php 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-devel 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-imap 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-ldap 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-mbstring 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-mysql 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-pear 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386
php-pgsql 4.3.10 3.rhel3.art i386

What is were the changes that were made between what I have now (I assume 4.3.10 2.rhel3.art

and this release?

Another Example is I have httpd 2.0.46 46.highfd.rhel3.arti386


What changed? Why was it updated?

First off you can look at the rpm changelog with: rpm -q --changelog <rpmname>, I try to keep the changelogs updated but sometimes I forget to add it in (was looking at gaim the other day, I hadnt updated that since october!).

Specifically the php update was purely FC3 related, they (Fedora) released a 2.4 version (why they did a subversion on a release version I have no idea). So I bumped mine up to 3 so theirs wouldnt get all mixed up with mine. Longterm I may have to do an Epoch number change, which I try to avoid for maintenance issues.

Oh apache, the .highfd release is just a rebuild of the standard RPM for high file descriptor environments (Hosting over 250 domains requires this). I believe I noted that in the changelog as well.
