New packages (including ones with security fixes from upstream or the maintainer) go into Unstable and then propagate to Testing. A very few eventually go into Stable in a point release. Security fixes are backported to Stable by the security team and the maintainer. At about the same time Unstable gets upstream's new fixed package or perhaps the maintainer's fix. It's rare that a security bug is fixed first in Unstable. > Right now, with testing (sarge) threatening to go stable, testing's > getting updates at the same time as stable (woody) is, but that's only a > temporary situation. Correct. Normally Stable has the best security support, followed by Unstable. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
