I see that something about the kernel updates is written on the release preparation page http://release.debian.org/stable/3.1/3.1r2/ as "About Kernel Updates", but IMO it should also be mentioned in the actual announcement. Maybe include a note like the following? "Due to some technical difficulties with Debian installation methods, the most recent security updates to the Linux kernel packages, DSA 1017 and 1018, are not included with this revision. They may be installed afterward instead by ensuring that the usual security entries are present in APT's /etc/apt/sources.list file, deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free running apt-get update, and following the steps described in the security advisories." On another topic, why isn't wzdftpd (DSA 1006) included in the release announcement? It is listed as OK on the wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases/PointReleases but not listed at all on the release preparation page http://release.debian.org/stable/3.1/3.1r2/ For some reason it has also gone missing from the security front page http://www.debian.org/security/ even though it can be found at the direct URL http://www.debian.org/security/2006/dsa-1006 regards, -- Kevin B.
