It's worse than that. Security support is non-existent, and users don't know that. An example: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-french/2010/08/msg00006.html where a user recommended flashplayer-mozilla from debian-multimedia (debian-multimedia.org), saying that it was working very well. What he didn't say (and there was no information on debian-multimedia.org either), is that this was a version with critical vulnerabilities known since June 2010: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-14.html -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
