Is Portage fast enough?
I got this from the mod_perl list on the 28th:

-----
If you are running 2.0.51, you want to upgrade to 2.0.52 as soon as
possible because of the security related flaw introduced in 2.0.51.
-----

Portage still doesn't have 2.0.52 available. So is anyone running
apache2 and Gentoo a sitting duck right now unless they upgrade
outside of portage?

Hi,
are you sure they don't mean apache? ;)
portage is currently at 2.0.51_rc7, nothing near 2.0.52 but apache
2.0.52 is the newest apache version...

I thought this at first, then I realised he did in fact mean Apache.
Portage the tools is fast "enough", Gentoo the distro isn't always :)

The Apache announcement completely lacks any date stamping, and no-one has
bug'd it, or mentioned it on the forums. Hasn't even been mentioned on
slashdot!
Looks like it's fallen under the radar of lots of people!

If you're referring to the 2.052 release of Apache, it was on /.

Hi,
actually the bug you are refering to is already fixed in
apache-2.0.51-r1 which is in the portage tree. Apache 2.0.52 only fixed
the bug with the Satisfy-directive, which has also been fixed in
apache-2.0.51-r1, just look at the Changelog of this ebuild.

Nice.
Fixed 7 days *before* apache released a fixed version, and stable on multiple
arches within 2.
Impressive.

I'm speechless. I didn't realize portage releases worked like. Awesome....

Don't you think portage needs best algorithms to search by
descriptions and also by names?,

I don't know but every way of organization of information is best than
the actual way. I really have never finished a search by descriptions
it takes hours on my p III.

Hi,

You need eupdatedb when you did emerge sync. You can do emerge esync, it
will do emerge sync and eupdatedb, than print the changes in the
repository.

Fantastic.

:-)

I've just looked closer at this and found that in that package there is
also a utility called esync. This does an emerge sync and updates the
index in one go. but best of all it gives you a report at the end of
everything that has changes in portage since your last emerge. So you
can see at a glance new packages and updates to packages you have
already installed.

Stick that in cron (instead of emerge sync and eupdatedb) and redirect
the output into an email: what more could you want?
