I won't complain about top-posting in the light of that last line!
You must build a _lot_ more than I do: I've got several non-book
perl modules which I sometimes build, and there are a few modules in
the book which I never build, but in the perl directory of my
scripts I only have 150 modules.
For python, I haven't counted recently (they only should need to be
rebuilt when the minor version changes, I believe).
And for openssl I don't rebuild anything if the version (without the
letter) has not changed, e.g. 1.1.f to 1.1.1g. But I do stop and
start anything which is running and linked to the old version. I
normally echo this as one long line at the end of my script, with a
message to copy and paste it to see what needs to be bounced:
grep -l -e 'libssl.*deleted' -e 'libcrypto.*deleted' /proc/*/maps |
tr -cd 0-9\\\n | xargs -r ps u
