Re: Cyrus21/ Vulnerability
Hello Christoph!
Do not use testing or unstable on machines exposed to the public.
There is no security support for them:
http://www.debian.org/security/faq#testing
Hmmm .. is this information accurate?
apt-setup gives me:
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
Is this only the preparation for the future release of sarge?
Answering to myself:
http://security.debian.org/dists/testing/updates/main/binary-i386/
-> 00 - pakets

If you must use newer packages than those shipped with woody,
roll your own. Yo have a working compiler, at least.
Or use woody and backports.
A compil...what? "dpkg --get-selections |grep compiler" gives me no
results! :-)
Personally I feel that woody+backports is more "unstable" than sid.
Besides that: If you get the backports from somewhere, you cannot really
"trust" them and you never know when they will conflict with something.
Building all that stuff myself is not an option for me because it drops
me back 10 years ....
But this is beyond the scope of this discussion.
rgds,
Andreas
