It comes with its own repo and updates are released regularly. This is not 100% open source, true, but it's really functional & customisable. I've been using it for 1 year on Linux/macOS/Windows and heard/read almost only good feedbacks. Best regards, l0f4r0

Security updates for software written in Go
Hello, the Debian Buster release notes state that no security updates are possible for software written in Go due to its static linking - Debian lacks the infrastructure to mass-rebuild all affected Go packages. Did this change in the mean time? If not, is there ongoing work to change this? The same release notes state that just Firefox and Chromium can be supported with security updates, but Chromium is several major versions behind in Buster, it appears as vulnerable to lots of CVEs and the last DSA for chromium was at the beginning of July.

Yes, there is such a list [1]. This list [2] is for (quote): Discussion about security issues, including cryptographic issues, that are of interest to all parts of the Debian community. Please note that this is NOT an announcement mailing list. If you're looking for security advisories from Debian, subscribe to debian-security-announce instead. This list is not moderated; posting is allowed by anyone. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/ [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-security/ -- Emmanuel

Re: fun with mailinglists (was Re: Is chromium updated?)
Imagine calling yourself a “Debian contributor” because you... reported a few bugs? Guess I’m a Debian contributor too. Why do we have such messages on the security mailing list? Is there a way to get actual security team announcements without all this spam? There is, after all, no shortage of Debian or Linux users mailing lists on which such messages could be posted.

It is like saying "thank you" to someone who gives you free licensed Windows XP, lol.
Re: Is chromium updated?
Hi, some brain storming: what about working together with the LinuxMint people, they just got a dedicated compiling machine, just for getting updated Chromium for LMDE in time: http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Debbie Consolidating resources might do the trick here, Kind regards, Joerg.

Some time ago on a multiuser debian mirror we found a lot of data, including the wordpress password of the admin. As Giacomo already explained, there is nothing an OS can do to stop the insecure behavior of its users. 3. Anything created by EDITOR NEWFILE is readable, unless the directory prevents. This include root doing EDITOR /etc/NEWFILE Yes, that is indeed the default. If you don't like it, you can change the system umask in /etc/login.defs or /etc/profile Somehow I get the feeling you are using debian-security@lists.debian.org to report a security issues with Debian. This is however just a discussion mailing list about Debian security. If you wish to report a serious security issue (which I did not find in your E-mails) you need to contact the Debian Security Team[2].
