Hi, I have two quick (seemingly obvious) questions, and one not so obvious, that I hope someone can help me with. I failed to find a definitive answer after a bit of Googling.
I've compiled the mysql-4.1 packages from source to enable OpenSSL support. I understand that I therefore take responsibility for updating these packages with regard to security issues. Firstly, what is the official debian method for holding source compiled packages back from apt-get upgrades? Is section 2.2.11 of http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-system.en.html the relevant info. Secondly, is the package source code obtained from official Debian security deb-src servers kept up to date in response to security issues in the same way that binary packages obtained from the same source? Presumably yes. Finally, is there yet a method of automatically informing Debian to rebuild packages from source (using a customised user-defined debian/rules file) so that apt-get upgrade (or similar) will also keep your source compiled packages up to date? Many thanks, Tez
