httpd 2.2.21 now available

Jason — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:54:58 +0000

I've just made httpd 2.2.21 available in my repos. No other packages were updated or rebuilt so with any luck this will be a smooth upgrade for everyone. For those that don't know, aside from a few bug fixes here and there, httpd 2.2.21 fixes another DoS bug (this time in mod_proxy_ajp) and re-fixes the DoS [...]

The Weed Dragon – I’ve got a flamethrower!

Jason — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 01:37:19 +0000

A Flamethrower is the best birthday present ever, thanks wife! For those wondering, this is the Weed Dragon VT 2-23 SVC (full disclosure: Amazon Affiliate link). It's basically a flamethrower that you hook up to a standard propane tank. There is a cheaper model without the squeeze valve, that's the VT 2-23 C, though I'd highly [...]

Everything updated, PHP 5.3 musings

Jason — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 01:22:24 +0000

Apache's httpd is now 2.2.20 to fix that bit of recent DoS nastyness, PHP is up to 5.2.17, MySQL up to 5.1.58, XCache has been updated to the 1.3.2 release, and a few included deps have been bumped as well. One thing I've been considering lately is the upgrade to PHP 5.3. I was saying for [...]

Jason — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 23:29:53 +0000

httpd 2.2.17, mysql 5.1.52, php 5.2.16, XCache 1.3.1, and APC 3.1.6 (which is FINALLY marked as stable) updates are all published to the regular repo, "yum update" for everyone! More here tomorrow, I'm tired... EDIT: Or not, I'm a man of few words.

MySQL 5.1 packages live, PHP & httpd also upgraded

Jason — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 03:19:52 +0000

If you haven't noticed yet, packages for MySQL 5.1 have been moved to the public repos. I whipped up updates for PHP 5.2.14 and httpd 2.2.16 as well. For those that have programs compiled against the mysql 5.0.x client libraries, a mysqlclient15 package has been added. As I mentioned in an earlier post, there [...]

MySQL 5.1 coming to yum repo, info & warnings within…

Jason — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:40:25 +0000

My original thoughts were to roll out packages for MySQL 5.1 and PHP 5.3 at the same time. Given the issues with Zend getting loaders for 5.3 out the door, and the complications with developers needing a newer version of Zend Guard and having to recompile everything in order for it to work with [...]

Repos updated, httpd 2.2.15, php 5.2.13, mysql 5.0.91 and more

Mobile site now available

Jason — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:17:37 +0000

A couple days ago I noticed that this site didn't really lend itself to a mobile browser. Not sure why Wordpress doesn't include a mobile theme, but anyway, that's fixed now, thanks to a mobile-optimized theme and a plugin that automatically switches you based on your browser identification (no separate URL required). If you should [...]

MySQL Upgraded to 5.0.86

Jason — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:43:13 +0000

According to the MySQL web site, 5.0.86 has been available since September 9th. I honestly have no idea why, just last week, I built packages for 5.0.84 rather than this newest version. Anyway, the repos have been updated with packages for 5.0.86 and I made a small change so I believe these should also update [...]
