The primary reason to upgrade is the vastly superior features in the 2.x versions, plus 2.x resolves some issues which were present in the 1.x series. These things will *not* be backported into 1.1.3, it simply does not make sense.
A complete backport would involve upgrading the software to 2.x. :)
I currently do not maintain a yum repo for those packages which currently makes this a manual install process, however I could probably set up a yum repo so any upgrades to those packages became automatic once you install the specially prepared yum repo config file. Setting up a yum repo for the RHEL and CentOS 2.x RPMS is not my highest priority task, but I can see how it would be an advantage for folks so I'll try and get it done in the next week (but no promises). In the meantime you can just download the RPM's the FAQ points to.
It may be useful for us to set up a yum & apt repository on freeradius.org. That could simplify things a lot for some people. Alan DeKok.
