What happens when a bad package is in Debian stable?

Hi, Suppose there a nice package has been in Debian stable for years. If a new version is added to Debian stable and problems are discovered after it is added, what happens to fix the problem? If the new version can be fixed? Is a fixed version added with a higher number? What if the new version

;ll move it to stable and regenerate the Packages and Release files for the distributions. Hopefully it works out to be as easy as it currently seems it will be. Peter On Sat, Apr 5, 2014 at 7:15 PM, Don Armstrong wrote: > On Sat, 05 Apr 2014, Peter Michaux wrote: >> Using dpk

pool to dists assocation?

Hi, When I look at http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apache2/ , I see the versions of apache2 for wheezy and jessie together in the same directory. When the repository Packages index files are created, how does apt-ftparchive know to put apache2.2-bin_2.2.22-13+deb7u1_amd64.deb into http

dirvish still a good choice?

Hi, I see in The Debian Administrator's Handbook [1] that Dirvish is recommended for backups. Looking at the Dirvish website [2] it seems that the project has been inactive since 2008. Perhaps Dirvish is such a simple layer over top of rsync that its been stable and hasn't needed attention in all

initialization package for a new server?

Hi, I would like to automate the creation of a new web server as much as possible. It would seem ideal if I do not have to edit any files at all but rather only install packages. I have my own simple APT repository accessible via SSH but the new server must first be configured to know about that s

Apache default directories

Hi, The default virtual host when Apache is installed on Debian has document root /var/www and a cgi-bin directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin. These directories do not make intuitive sense to me. If I have static HTML pages and some Perl CGI scripts, I would expect they go somewhere under /usr/share/. What

running a website the Debian way

Hi, I've had some small hobby-type websites running on a Debian VPS for a several years. My sysadmin approach has been very amateur and ad hoc. It has worked fine because I have not depended on these sites for anything. I'd like to learn how to install and maintain a website in a more professional

applications, users, groups, permissions

Hi, I have been playing with apache on my debian server and have a few questions about how applications (apache in this case) have access permission to files. I am assured by the people on #apache that this is a vanilla *nix question and not an apache question. I hope this is a good place to ask

Sarge or Etch for Apache 2.2?

Hi, My new hosting company has standard choices of Fedora Core 5 or 6 or Debian Sarge. They suggest Fedora Core because it comes with Apache 2.2 which I want. They say that they could install Debian Etch for me because that has Apache 2.2 but Etch hasn't been officially released yet so this may n
