this is getting outta hand but I sorta agree with KWo

What you could do would be to download a dump of the server's filesystem to a local machine of yours, take the time to do the updates there, and test EVERYTHING on it.

Did we get hacked once ?

Sounds like a good idea. Or start with the updates which doesn't affect much(ie the ones that Nova didn't made bold).

Well...BU isn't that populair But gentoo is pretty minimal(for linux) so that may help too.

Just a joke. Don't be so angry.

if it has to be done, it has to be done. Critical updates that is. For all other stuff, i don't see a real reason. If we are 'so small', there is no real benefit in gettin as secured as the Pentagon itself.

Can we update GCC? Dethpod has been able to make .so files for me nearly half the size of the ones I generate on the BU server using the same makefile..

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

That's probably because he strips the debug symbols, not because of GCC itself.

man strip
