Hi all. I've just installed a box with packages from the testing dist. Some questions came to mind about security updates for packages in testing. If a package is in the testing distribution and a security update is issued that effects stable, testing and unstable, how long before the testing package is updated? Does it have to go through the full process of maturation to make it to testing from unstable? How about if the package in stable is not effected (i.e. only testing and unstable are vulnerable)? Would there be any notification on the security-announce list? Would the updated packed be backported or otherwise pushed into testing? How soon? Would you recommend keeping a line in /etc/apt/sources.list for the security server's stable collection if the box is running on testing or unstable packages? Thanks for the info, -Chris PS: Please cc me in responses as I am not subscribed to the list.
