==== Local Packages ====

 * Updated `perl-Module-CoreList` to 2.05

==== Server Outage ====

Had a brief server outage today.
My ADSL line went down, and the usual watchdog script failed to bring it back up.
This turned out to be because the `pppd` log file was configured to be in `/var/log`
instead of `/var/log/ppp`, which SELinux wasn't happy with, resulting in `pppd` failing
to start up again.
It shows how reliable the ADSL link has been though, as I've had SELinux in enforcing mode
for at least a week now and this must have been the first time it had been down since then.

==== Wiki ====

Turned off the `httpd_unified` SELinux boolean and fixed the resulting wiki breakage.
Since it's now running using `mod_fcgid` in the `httpd_fastcgi_script_t` domain,
the standard `httpd_sys_*` domains are no longer accessible.
Changed the context types of the wiki directory to the `httpd_fastcgi_*` equivalents
and added a couple of policy rules to allow `httpd_fastcgi_script_t` to search `httpd_sys_*`
directories (since the wiki lives in the same directory hierarchy as regular CGI scripts).
All is now well again.

In fact I've now gone further and split off the FastCGI parts of my local apache policy
into their own separate FastCGI policy, and added some equivalent stuff from the regular
apache policy that gives capabilities to system scripts, such as accessing a MySQL database.
I'll probably bundle that into my `mod_fcgid` package along with a quick example of how to
get `moin` running under SELinux and FastCGI, then submit it for Fedora Extras,
