Since Foresight has been mentioned in another context, ie April the 1st,
and since this is 'the List of All *nix Knowledge' (tm) (no really, it's
now April 2, I'm serious :) - I'd like to ask how exactly one can keep
an rPath vm up to date with security fixes? Or is that another April
Fool's quest?
The only way I have been advised to do this (by rPath on their forums,
already) is to rebuild the rPath vm from the rPath fixed sources, which
is neither satisfactory nor necessarily simple.
After an admittedly non-exhaustive (but exhausting) search, I have found
no other solution - which is why I am very reluctant ever to deploy an
rPath appliance.
Is there (there must be) a better way?
TIA
