Safe way to upgrade curl

CentOS curl backports security fixes into same 7.19 version number so it isn't same as 7.19 from curl sources. However, WHMCS seems to pick up on just version number see System Health and Updates says system cron tasks have not been ran but they have - Page 2

To update curl/libcurl on CentOS, Centmin Mod 123.09 betas has a customcurl.sh addon script to update to curl/libcurl 7.45 (current latest) as outlined at Beta Branch - Centmin Mod curl 7.43+ custom rpms | Centmin Mod Community

Technically, you can run this on Centmin Mod 123.08 stable releases too as Centmin Mod addons are standalone scripts. The Centmin Mod 123.09 beta's addon/customcurl.sh addon is located here.

However, as outlined at official discussion thread Beta Branch - Centmin Mod curl 7.43+ custom rpms | Centmin Mod Community this is beta so I take no responsibility if it breaks anything as curl/libcurl is crucial to the entire server CentOS environment and it's operation.

I'd test this on test VPS/server, until you are satisfied that it works for your needs

 

sorry got my wires mixed up, addons/customcurl.sh is also in 123.08 stable too centminmod/addons at 123.08stable · centminmod/centminmod · GitHub just it has 7.43 curl while beta has 7.45 curl

still testing on test VPS is advisable first
