Hello, I am trying to answer some questions from Serpro [1], an interested government agency that receive attention [0] from Debian Partners Program.
- Expected release date for Lenny. - How test/guarantee today high end hardware (SAN, blades , etc) work fully with Lenny? Are there regression tests? - How help Debian at this task of high end hw drivers? - How much time takes a security patch to be issued? - Are there regression tests to allow distro consistency of a security fix backport to a VERY old version of a sw, already outside of security team action scope? (Lets say, a Pg 6.x on Lenny, unmaintained even at upstream. Please, do not discuss the merit of this approach, as it is _their_ IT mgmt problem to solve.) How release team verify distro consistency? Could it be reproduced in house? Is a repackaging enough? Could you point an url with the correct answers to these questions? Regards.
