I thought security fixes usually showed up on the security repositories first and then were moved into s-p-u. Traditionally, s-p-u has been sort of a staging area for fixes that should be included in the next point release of stable (which includes both security updates and "important" bug fixes). I believe for Squeeze and forward it will also serve as a staging area for stable-updates (the replacement for volatile). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
