Re: security support for testing distribution

Does that mean that security updates go from unstable to testing security 
repository to testing distribution or am I misreading something here?


No.

If a (critical) vulnerability is discovered in some package which is 
already in testing or stable the security team patches it and uploads a 
fix into the security archive for the appropriate release. (for the 
users to fix the problem immediately)


Then they notify the author and he applies the fix in unstable, which 
then migrates on to testing and stable as usual.

security support for testing distribution

2006-05-31 Thread Kamaraju Kusumanchi
I am trying to understand how the security support works for testing 
distribution.  According to 

http://www.debian.org/security/faq.en.html#testing-security

security support migrates from unstable to testing for any package. However, 
there is a separate testing security repository according to

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/05/msg6.html

Does that mean that security updates go from unstable to testing security 
repository to testing distribution or am I misreading something here?

thanks for any pointers
raju
