That doesn't really add up. Auto-karma is the *default* in Bodhi. The maintainer had to take specific action to disable it. If they want things to be fire-and-forget, why disable auto-karma? > Currently I have two security fixes, which are two months old. Nobody > does the needed testing. The karma isn't reached. If they're two months old, they can certainly be pushed with 0 karma. The longest *any* update for *any* distro has to wait before it can be pushed without karma is 2 weeks. > Nobody ensures that > they enter the stable updates repo even with 0 karma.

I've never understood why the idea of a 'last push of security fixes' for an EOL release makes any sense. It's *EOL*. It doesn't matter if there's a last-day push or not: everyone should stop using it the next day, end of story. That's what EOL means. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
