Re: security warnings (on unstable)
On Wed, Oct 01, 2003 at 11:17:40 +0200, Christian Jaeger wrote: What's the best way to let machines (running unstable) to warn me about pending upgrades marked as security relevant (or just relevance high)? http://www.debian.org/security/faq#testing : Q: How is security handled for testing and unstable? A: The short answer is: it's not. Testing and unstable are rapidly moving targets and the security team does not have the resources needed to properly support those. If you want to have a secure (and stable) server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable. However, the security secretaries will try to fix problems in testing and unstable after they are fixed in the stable release. Thus, if you need to handle security issues for a machine running unstable, your best bet is to - Subscribe to debian-security-announce to get the security advisories for stable, then determine if the issue affects unstable, and, if so, check unstable and incoming.debian.org for fixed packages or make them yourself. - Subscribe to debian-devel to follow unstable-specific security issues discussion. That said, IMHO if you think about deploying unstable in an ISP setting you should step back and take a very, very good look at why you are even thinking about that. For an ISP, what you want is reliability and stability. Stable (if necessary augmented with selective backports or additions from apt-get.org) will give you that, unstable wont.

So I'd like to upgrade ssh on the client machine to the testing version. But I don't know how to do this other than adding testing to the apt-get sources, dselect upgrade, etc., which will upgrade everything. Can anyone explain to me how to be more selective?

The following should work (though I'm not aware of people actually using this configuration as most simply fully upgrade to testing, so you may want to use the -s flag to apt-get to see what it intends to do before actually doing these steps): - add testing entries to /etc/apt/sources.list in addition to the entries for stable - apt-get update - apt-get install apt - create an /etc/apt/preferences with contents Package: * Pin: release a=stable to have apt default to the stable versions - install testing's ssh by requesting it explicitly: apt-get -t testing install ssh HTH, Ray -- Professionele hackers kunnen uw bedrijf veel schade berokkenen.

Personally, I'm very happy with PostgreSQL; it supports all the features I need (referential integrety, views, triggers, transactions) and has scaled up nicely for all the uses I've put it to.
