title: centos 7 get latest apache package
body: <p>This question comes from my lack of understanding of package managers,
  I run <code>yum list</code> and get <code>httpd-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.4.x86_64</code></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/centos/updates/7.2.1511/x86_64/Packages/httpd-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.4.x86_64.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/centos/updates/7.2.1511/x86_64/Packages/httpd-2.4.6-40.el7.centos.4.x86_64.html</a></p>

  <p>I did <code>yum update &amp;&amp; yum install httpd</code>, will this get me the latest version of httpd? </p>
  
  <p>where can I check online to confirm my package/build is the latest?</p>
  
  <p>how can I periodically install security patches for my version of httpd?</p>
  
  <p><strong>update</strong></p>
