Package: security.debian.org Severity: grave Tags: upstream Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, someone needs to thoroughly check the updates servers. For months now, any update process times out to oblivion. Im on 3MB/sec FIBER line here. Im getting 43k/sec transfers. often, slower than that. And updates for jessie seems a tad DATED or MISSING. I know packages have updated since Jessie's release. STRETCH doesnt get security updates in a timely manner.I know debian policy is just like RHEL: DRAGGG out updates for stability reasons but theres work to be done. Obviously, anyone can patch(and do your job for you) but mebbe the maintainer of the software in question has already fixed the issue. You wont know if you dont update your software. someone needs to check whats going on. I would ADVISE: mirrors for security updates like official mirrors have. Force push RSYNC updates. You can do it with SIN and NetWare, THERE IS A WAY. IVE DONE IT. There should be a way to trigger RSYNC once updates are released. MORE MIRRORS mean better availability and uptime. THIS KEEPS PEOPLE LIKE NASA SECURE. As far as torrents:(which would be most ideal) we need a way to version check the files(and isos). Master that and you have the cheesecake. And as a side note, LE certs are free and semi-automated now. Get on board. 5 mins to SSL. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
