Well, Sarge == stable _did_ make it to the news now, but probably not as we have hoped ... My ZDnet news agent mailed me this item this morning: "Debian drops ball on security updates" And if I look at the ZDnet page http://news.zdnet.com/ I see those 2 items nicely aligned after one another. * Perens joins start-up SourceLabs Open-source advocate to lead developer relations at start-up founded last year by former Microsoft and BEA employees. Wed Jun 08 06:22:00 PDT 2005 * Open source * Executive recruiting * Microsoft Corp * Debian drops ball on security updates The newly launched Linux distribution has a glitch--some versions were released with default security updates turned off. Wed Jun 08 10:38:00 PDT 2005 * Security * Linux Do we have crisis communication in place ? I searched this morning and found nothing about this on http://www.debian.org or http://www.debian.org/security/ . I don't claim that the "security problem" is at all important (I actually could not easily find info about it), but that is what at least part of "the press" has perceived about Debian sarge ... HTH (really, we should have crisis communication in place, and I didn't find it), Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
