From my point of view, everyone should take care of security updates. Like you said, keeping the AMI up to date for everyone update would be a mess. The AMI should only be updated for major SSH or Apache, or when CentOS goes from 6.3 to 6.4 or any major update like this. > (All these questions are rhetorical, by the way!)

If we do it, it will be bonded to WOCommunity, I don't want something bonded to a business that might go away. But anyway, the goal is to make it easier to deploy apps. At least with the Yum repository of WOCommunity, it will be much easier. > Having said all that, if I haven't discouraged you and you're really keen, I > can certainly help you do it. :-) > > > -- > Paul Hoadley > http://logicsquad.net/ > > _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
