You have to keep security.debian.org. Those are under control of the security team and cointain the fast & important security updates. See e.g. http://www.debian.org/security/ Volatile now is integrated in the "official" squeeze-updates: http://lists.debian.org/debian-volatile-announce/2011/msg00000.html There it's also stated clearly: "This suite will contain updates that satisfy one of the following criteria: * The update is urgent and not of a security nature. Security updates will continue to be pushed through the security archive. ... " So, security.debian.org continues to be important :-) Axel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
