I just discovered (well, I’ve suspected for a while but never actually confirmed it or did anything about it) that a lot of the web application software here was out of date. I’d gotten a bit tardy with keeping the websites in sync with what I was installing via Portage…
You see, when you use Gentoo’s webapp-config tool to install stuff (having emerged with USE=”vhosts”, of course) you have to go through a webapp-config -U to actually apply any updated packages to your website. So I had particularly out-of-date installations of some of the software, not the least of which was this very blog software!
Progressively I’m working through the updates, in the process getting to know webapp-config a lot better than I thought I would. All in an afternoon’s work…
