I'm starting to go through the book from the top and will do updates as I go. Right now I'm reviewing the security chapter. Many of the packages have been updated, but these are what are left:
console kit Who uses this? Evidently KDE4 and gdm. Cyrus SASL I can build it but don't know how to test it. iptables Will update to 1.4.12 gnupg Do we need both version 1 and version 2? Current for version 1 (up to date - October 2010) Current is 2.0.18 (August 2011) Book at 2.0.15 gpgme Who uses this? Evidently KDE. heimdal I can build it but don't know how to test it. MIT Kerberos I can build it but don't know how to test it. Linux-PAM No new sources on kernel.org. Is 1.1.3 still current? Anybody know where more recent sources are located? Debian shows 1.1.3 with 2Mb of changes, mostly docs. PolicyKit (not polkit) Who uses this? I can't find any references to it in the book. polkit-gnome Is this still used by gnome? gnome-system-tools? If so, should the package be moved from Security to Gnome? tripwire Recently updated to 2.4.2.2 (Nov 2011) Book version is from 2007. I will do iptables, gnupg2, and tripwire but I'd like comments on the others. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
