There have been a security alert related largely by the press these last days. I for myself have learned it simultaneously by Simon's mail on discuss@ list and by the Monde Informatique (French press). Joost has answered this mail giving the link to the patch and the md5sums. Reading more, I've find a mail on release@ list from Martin explaining how to install it on 1.1.5. If I go on the website, I can't find any information about this security patch: if it's already in 2.1 or not, or how to install it under the 1.1.5 version. Users who want informations need to dig in the mailing lists and IZ to find the relevant informations. My question is : could we put a communication flow in place about those security alerts, make this communication transparent and usefull for our users and the press, and at the end show that we are concerned. Several reactions on the French list have pointed a wrong decision to not communicate about the security, where we simply took no decision at all. Kind regards Sophie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G.
