If you have 1-2 boxes and have the responsibility yourself, I would agree. Shared responsibility or more boxes and I would invest the time to build my own RPMs. I totally agree that just rebuilding a FC SRPM is a bad idea, you must adjust dependencies according to TSL and adjust the init-scripts (at the very least). > > # wc -l < /var/log/rpmpkgs > 312 > > We really use TSL's RPMs, it is really useful and easy, but for many > years we have a local rule that every software which listens a port > (i.e. accesible for everyone from Internet) should be customizely built > from sources. Our policy claims that it's more suitable... Interesting policy! Written by a sysadmin labour union? ;) Security the reason behind it?
