Updating out of date components

iainh

Basic Pleskian
Is there any advice on how to update out of date components included in VPS? For instance...
  1. rkhunter is at v1.3.4 whereas the current version is 1.4.2. Why both about updating? Well, in part to reduce the number of false-positive warnings and in part to gain more current protection.

    A yum update isn't possible as 1.4.x has moved on quite significantly from 1.3.x and while downloading and installing rkhunter isn't terrible difficult, trying to get it to update the 1.3.4 version included with VPS seems somewhat more difficult

  2. SpamAssassin is at v3.3.1-3 whereas 3.4.0 is the current release version and 3.3.2 is no longer supported, meaning 3.3.1 is definately way out of support. Why bother? Better spam detection and blocking
So is there any advice from Plesk on either:
  1. When VPS will update to something nearer current versions of both of these components?
  2. Instructions on how to manually apply a current release without causing issues within Plesk?
