Fink on OS X Servers.

Since OS X server doesn’t come with mrtg (which requires things like gd and the like) by default and the spamassassin is quite old, I’m going to trail fink on one server and macports on another  and pitch them off against each other and see if there is one true leader.

I have to say I’m kinda swinging to Fink as it allow binary packaging which on servers is much more secure that installing compilers and the like.  Another package manager to support.. How annoying.

Why is that fink requires X even to install a perl package… Seems Stupid.. Need more time to fingure this out.  One hopes for a custom repo for corner situations and odd sofware. Might make patch management better on new installs.

Change Management Policy.

As a small IT consulting company it’s rare to here this phrase from SME businesses as they see this as a waste of time in unnecessary procedures. However, as more SME’s using multiple contractors (us and web monkey’s are quite common) this is becoming a much bigger issue.  So much so I’m having to dedicate time to find or write a SME version of a change management policy. Yay for me. I feel so special. Can you feel the love today :P

If anyone has a CMP that’s concise and will fit SME level of thinking let me know. I hate re-inventing the wheel.
