he will consider it. It would be a nice project to start....

We similarly use Debian on site. To overcome the problem we have found
that maintaining a local debian mirror (with standard debian packages)
and then use debarchiver to maintain our own repository which allows
us to backport the current release of heartbeat and place this in our
package archive for use as required.
As described by Tim Cutts in the Beowulf list recently (16/4/08) this
linked with cfengine means we can role out or specify packages to be
upgraded or installed at install time, particularly when linked in
with FAI or other automated installation procedure (very useful (tm)
:-) ).
The good news is that there are plenty of useful tools to assist here,
you're not just stuck with the current debian package offering :-).
Oh... and Simon Horms has been v. helpful in providing Debian ports
and a useful place to start if you need to create Sarge backports is
here :

then modify the debian/rules etc as required
Enjoy

Thanks for the reply Dejan....
Our company has a policy to use Debian apt-get packages only, to my
knowledge what i am running is the latest available for AMD64 in
apt-get i
know its not the latest.
I understand such policies (even if I may not agree with them), but
companies also need to understand that it usually prevents the
community from supporting them in a meaningful way.
If you need support for ancient (seriously, 2.0.7 is extremely old)
versions, then you need to contact the distribution that is keeping
you on that version.
We'll help if we can, but there's only so much we can do once you hit
a problem that we've already fixed 2 years ago and you won't upgrade.
That and re-diagnosing old bugs is a waste of valuable resources.
I'm not picking on you specifically, its just something that comes up
occasionally.
