I'm not running testing Ah, so, you don't have the time. That would be the reason testing hasn't got security updates- not enough skilled people with the time to actually *do* it. People with the time and skills, DD or not, could provide updates and eventually I think these people and updates would be incorporated into Debian in a move where Debian would then start officially supporting testing. I don't believe Debian should ever do it piecemeal or partially. If it's going to be done then it needs to be done completely and we must have enough people to do it before we announce that we will. > 4. I would have to get a s/390 While having one would be fun if you'd actually been reading what I've been saying you'd have noticed that you wouldn't have needed one. You wouldn't need to be running testing as your main system either. > I must be totally missing something. Is one getting the s3kr1t > "create-a-repository-key" when you are becoming a DD?

To create a respository you just need a couple debs and website and the tools to create the Packages files, ie: dpkg-scanpackages. Stephen
