Re: security support



Hello,

who told you debian-amd64 sarge will not have security support? This is
simply not true. 

"Sythos" is not a member of the porting team, nor does he apparently
know what he is talking about.

Currently there are no security updates for sarge. As soon as there will
be, security.debian.org will carry amd64 pacakges, too.

Best regards
Frederik Schueler
