Comment (by fo):
Thanks, that's good for all who knows this this association.
But because sometimes it is not security related but is high priority, I
try to include in the first ''Description'' line the info (have not a
standard way for the words, but make it ''Heading''. Will do for this one,
as example.
Recently a package was incorrectly released, breaking the API (or ABI?),
and immediately (after one day?) a new version was released reverting the
wrong code. For that one, I tagged high, so anybody having updated it
could fix the system.
What I read is that 8u71 has security fixes, but not 8u72, which they told
to be ''improvements''.
But as we are going directly to 8u72, this one deserves it.
The query
[http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/query?priority=high&desc=1&order=id]
will make it easier for users and maintainers to follow just security
(almost all of them) or other important issue.
It is for helping others that I repeat some of what here wrote here.
I think you know most of it, so, sorry to bother you, Pierre.
