Compiling updated packages...9specifically exim).

Hi all,

I currently have a machine running Leap 42.1, yes I know it’s old…which is running my exim mailserver, which I would like to update to the latest version. I’m happy to download and compile myself (and have done so in the past). But is there available anywhere a copy of the configuration used to origionally build the version included in Leap 42.1 so that I can compile the new version with the same options, config files in the same place etc?

Cheers.

Phill.

Highly not recommended.

Since 42.1 EOL,
There have been many significant security vulnerabilities published, a good number of them related to basic networking. If you persist in using an old server, unless you are behind a proxy firewall (very different than ordinary firewalls), your machine will be exposed directly to hacking with the possibility your machine will divulge username/password credentials and be “owned.” Even behind a proxy firewall, your machine may be exposed to other attacks, but just the networking related vulnerabilities should be enough for everyone to immediately end any thoughts of running 42.1.
