libsasl2: is there an announce list for Main

2009-06-08 Thread john
Hi all,

Is there an announce list for the updates to the Main repository or
are packages just added there and end-users find out when they do
apt-get update? For example I see that there's an update to libsasl2
and libsasl2-2. I can't find any information about the nature of the
update. Perhaps if I knew how to ask apt it would tell me? Anyway I
hate to apply patches that I don't have an idea about. So hopefully
someone can enlighten me.

Thanks!


John

apt-listchanges is probably what you want.

This is a security update.  See DSA-1807 [1].
