As I can see the maintainer of the BACKPORTS above allows this to be done with an extra dists subdir, so a line like this deb http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/BACKPORTS woody-amavisd-new main will get only amavisd-new.

Apache rotatelogs vs. logrotate questions
Hi, I am just searching the perfect solution for logfile-rotation. The goal is to get a 24-hour rotation exactly at midnight and the logfiles named %y-%m-%d-access.log logrotate and rotatelogs seem to be candidates for the task, but manpages leave some questions open. A) rotatelogs: There is no documentation about which time exactly the rotationtime starts. My tests showed, that restarting apache seems to trigger the countdown of the rotationtime. This seems to be a source for trouble in my eyes, as it will make it impossible to guarantee a logfile rotation e.g. exactly at 23.59, because the rotationtime is always triggered new, if the server is restarted. So if for some maintanance task the server is restarted at 4pm, the logrotation will always take place at 4pm (value 86000 for rotationtime). Is this right? If yes, this tool doesn´t seem to be very useful, because manual restarts will interfere with periodically logrotation. B) rotatelogs: What exactly does offset define? I read the ucf-thing, but what does this mean? C) I really like the strftime-feature of rotatelogs. As I can not find anything about this in the CustomLog directive, this does not seem to be available for definitions of logfile-names in httpd.conf. is it possible any other way to get this done with logrotate? D) logrotate: Does apache NEED the create feature of logrotate or will it interfere with apache? E) logrotate: Is an apache reload as postscript needed or is apache restart recommended? This seems to be needed to release apache-filedescriptors from the old logfile, right? Does this interfere with the create feature (see D)? F) I read about problems with logrotate and ssl. What exactly do I have to think about, if I want to use logrotate for mod-ssl-enabled servers? Thank you very much for your attention, any answers to this questions will hopefully also help others that want to get a grip on logfile rotation.

Advice on remote kernel changes?
Hi, are there any tutorials / packages out there that address the situation of patching / upgrading / changing the installed kernel remotely? three main problems come to my mind that could bring a fatal situation of not being able to access the machine after a reboot: A kernel does not work with hardware for any reason and machine hangs B kernel / modules do not work with network device for any reason. C kernel does not start sshd for any reason How would one prevent this? is it possible to reboot old kernel automatically A if system boot does not finish properly B if modules for net-devices are missing / not working C if the new one does not start all services (esp. sshd) Are there any solutions to this out there? B + C could be resolved with some kind of script, I guess, but A seems to be impossible to be done remotely? How do i change back lilo.conf, if I have no ssh.login to the machine?
