The hacker in me feels great sympathy. That is a painful bug. The software engineer in me cringes at the thought of upgrading a production system without testing in the lab first.
- SwellJoe 17y agoThe system administrator in me cringes at the thought of having a production server running a hodge podge of random from-source builds of apparently everything in the stack. That's just asking to suffer. And all for the sake of maybe a 5% performance gain by having it "optimized" for the workload (and maybe a performance drop because you do something stupid, or you don't understand the software in question as well as the package builder for your OS).
