I am under the impression that 'normal procedures' does not involve updating the application to catch new threats. If I'm wrong, then there is no need for this entire thread. Look, I don't want to drag this out. I am hoping for a straight forward 'yes, it will be OK to upload new versions to catch new threats' or 'no, stable is stable' type response. If it's the latter, I don't see that programs like clam or spamassassin (or IDS's, etc) belong in stable, since they become outdated so quickly, and I'll file a bug to remove clam from sarge. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
