But that happens only every two years and for every release we need to make
some minor tweaks anyway.

Let's use the current process for some time and re-evaluate later.

 I wish we could use a unified process. After all dsa-needed.txt already
 accepts package/stable and package/oldstable for the period where the
 security team takes care of both. Maybe we could just always use that
 scheme...

in the last month or so I came to realise that the Debian security team 
doesnt support LTS as a team, only by individual members is not really true / 
accurate. Or to phrase it differently and more positivly: I thankfully still 
see many edits to data/CVE/list which refer to squeeze too! Thats awesome!

So I think LTS has put a little bit more work on the security teams shoulders. 
And we should acknowledge / not forget that. (Which I think we do best by 
working with them, roughly like we have done so far :)


cheers,
Holger

 thanks for this description, sounds implementable ;-)

The annoying part is that the mapping of release = file to use changes
over time. There's a one year period where oldstable is the realm of the

Bug#762781: security-tracker: Provide list of candidates for dsa-needed.txt/dla-needed.txt

2014-09-25 Thread Raphaël Hertzog
Package: security-tracker
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice if the security tracker could provide by release a list
of packages with open vulnerabilities (i.e. neither unimportant nor tagged
as no-dsa) that are not yet listed in dsa-needed.txt/dla-needed.txt
depending on the case.

It would help triage issues where no formal decision has been taken yet
on whether a DSA/DLA is warranted.
