I certainly didn't intend to be part of any shoot-down, I was just wondering exactly what had been discussed, where it had been archived, and what exactly was involved in the proposal. If it's a matter of maintaining a proposed-updates-to-testing queue, and forcing uploads to that to go via a newly formed testing-security group then it doesn't seem like a lot of work to start picking volunteers. The actually patching, testing, building and uploading will be an ongoing task though. From my observer-only position it seems like the security team is usually stretched pretty thin, due to lack of members; and they have a pretty thankless task which is a shame because they do a great job. (I'm immune to this discussion on the whole; my boxes run stable at work and unstable at home). Steve --- www.steve.org.uk
