Changed to Apache Packages
Posted by jkwarren on Oct 01 2018 in Blather
For decades I've been deploying Apache by compiling its source, including all of the modules.
Some time last year I realized this is a huge time suck with not as much benefit as it had had in the past. Previously I could argue that I understood my system better, had more control, and even poked at some optimizations.Recently, keeping everything in sync and up-to-date has proven harder. I have become more concerned that my compiled-from-source modules were separating from the provided packages, and may even be introducing risk in its divergence.
It's a leap of faith that the package maintainers are doing it right, but in the meantime, I'm more up-to-date, and the future upgrades should be more convenient.
Now...to move it all to the high-horsepower server!
