Beware: this reputation is limited to "secure" - installing and maintenance of DJB-packages is really ugly ! (actally, I wouldn't cause this stuff "packages", but collections of code fragments). Did you ever try to building qmail ? For some customer, I had to get it built in our automated image builder (which does evrything from scratch wit an sysroot'ed cross-toolchain). Required me to completely rewrite all makefiles. If such things happen in beta versions, okay. But I never would call some package "stable" as long as it doesn't build cleanly out-of-th-box ;-O BTW: if you're looking for an lightweight httpd for *nix platforms, you might consider lighttpd. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
