possibility: Maybe they just dont have enough spare time to compile it
I recently started using Ubuntu server LTS for some production web
servers due to the fact that it is SO easy to run. However, usually I
guess you get what you pay for. I’ve noticed that many major packages
for things such as Apache2 and PHP5 don’t really stay up to date too
much. For instance the newest package available using aptitude is
2.0.55, yet the newest available on apache.org is 2.0.63.
Now, I understand the package maintainers mostly keep these up to date
out of the kindness of their heart and in their spare time, and really
we’d all be nowhere without them. However, do many have an issue
running these systems that are so out of date due to security
concerns?
Are many admins out there really running Ubuntu LTS in production
environments that face the internet?
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this issue as two of my
boxes were recently compromised and frankly I don’t know if it was my
system or the application running on it, or a combination of the two
and I’m not sure what I should plan on doing in the future
Thanks!
into ubuntu and create the *.deb package? it probably doesnt take that
long to do..but then i dont maintain any packages yet
