From experience, I'd say it could be months before the packages move into stable. (No packages have moved from proposed-updates to stable since september; I don't think having a broken link for months on a security page is acceptible.) Until I think of something better, I'm going to put in hard links. > > 2. fixes_link allows you to put All into the architecture field, but the > > Packages area seems to assume i386 (and I don't see a way to select a > > different arch.)

I'm not sure what you mean here. As an example, go to http://www.debian.org/security/1998/19980922 and follow the link at the bottom of the page to get a copy of tcsh. Click the download button on that page and you get a list of sites where you can download the i386 .debs--but the m68k debs are nowhere to be found. Mike Stone
