Yes, that was the same link I posted - it doesn't say temporary or permanent, it just says they need at least 2 people willing to support the package in some sense. It also suggests that the way upstream distributes the tarball makes it necessary to do a lot of patching, that deters people from maintaining a package. > still available in EPEL: > > http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/ > > Is this really an issue? Yes, definitely, because if something like that is publicly accessible, it needs security updates. Debian and RHEL often put out security updates for supported packages within a matter of hours (much faster than the non-Linux platform vendor) The reason for using Debian is that I already have a VM running for reSIProcate, it could be shared for the Ganglia project, used to bootstrap releases, etc. The physical server is under a commercial hosting contract in Telehouse, one of London's most well connected data centres: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telehouse_Europe#London ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
