Arg!  "cvs -v" tells me 1.11.5, which is ancient.  I've been doing

   apt-get update
   apt-get upgrade

which I thought was suppose to keep me up to date with all security
patches.  But I guess not....

For Debian 'woody' the latest cvs is 1.11.1p1, for Debian 'sarge' the latest is 1.12.9.


Check out: http://www.debian.org/security/2004/dsa-519


Somebody please instruct me on the proper way to get security
updates for debian....

For Debian 'woody' the config file /etc/apt/sources.list should contain:

deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free


For Debian 'sarge':

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free


For Debian 'sarge', please note the quote from:

http://www.debian.org/releases/index.en.html

"...the main disadvantage is that it's not completely tested and has no official support from Debian security team."


You really shouldn't install anything later as Debian 'woody' (3.0) on a public server on the internet, because that's a security risk...
