Looks like I need to upgrade it for security issues; so I tried to compile it from the ports area. First it blew out my disk space (the "work" sub-directory), so when I rearranged a few things to make more room it blew out my swap space! On my box /tmp is "tmpfs" i.e. use memory first before overflowing into swap; that's going to be trickier to fix... I guess I'll have to kludge /tmp as a symlink into /usr/local or something, where I have heaps of room. On the other hand I guess I could figure out what requires Ruby, and decide whether I really need it. What sort of disk farms do these developers have? I'm only a small-time user and wannabe developer... -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
