I have had similar challenges with the system last year like trying to |
| 2 |
up grade curl after serious security issues have also given up on the |
| 3 |
system basically - but there are some big/important put very patched-up |
| 4 |
legacy webapps custom developed for clients that have stayed behind on |
| 5 |
the box after we moved the bulk of our clients onto a new Gentoo box - |
| 6 |
one of the websites is eventmanagement enquiry/booking/search site with |
| 7 |
a mysql db and perl cgi backend written in the 90's (and badly so I |
| 8 |
might add - whole tables are quiried without where clauses and then |
| 9 |
processed in perl!!!) |

Supporting 7.3 a gigantic pain in the ass... for web services at least. |

php 4.1.x IIRC. Trying to get 4.3 with xml/sablotron was brutal. We gave |
