Hi Florian, The reason there needed to be 'non-us' was because there were political/legal problems that did not allow Debian to put them in the desired place, main. So (unless this is incorrect) I would assume that those packages were put into 'main', now that the reason is gone. > > Is there an archive.debian.org for non-US e.g. non-US.archive.debian.org? As said above, I'd expect them to be in archive.debian.org under 'main'. > > And the questions about the security.debian.org woody stuff is not about > further supporting it but rather the packages currently updateing woody. Debian is not updating packages in Woody, its now oldstable. Debian now has support for Sarge and will still support Sarge when Etch is released but when Lenny is near release Sarge will stop being supported like Woody is now (this is based upon a generalized 1 year support). ----------------- now: ----------------- Supported : Sarge(stable), Etch(testing) Not supported: bo, hamm, potato, woody(oldstable) ----------------- after Etch is released: ----------------- Supported : Sarge(oldstable), Etch(stable), Not supported: bo, hamm, potato, woody ----------------- Shortly before Lenny is released: ----------------- Supported : Etch(oldstable), Lenny(stable) Not supported: bo, hamm, potato, woody, Sarge > I dont think they now will be copied to the main woody archive tree so > where will the old security updates go ? I think they would go to main. Debian now uses 'pool' for packages, this is what makes me think this.
