You know what? It doesn't matter. As the maintainer of the package, and due to the fact we're frozen, plus other issues that I, being involved with openssh and it's developers in other ways, I just do not feel confident deploying 3.7 in 9.2. openssh is perhaps one of the single most important packages in the distrib and I don't carelessly update it. Typically, when I update openssh, I've tested it for a few days on my own machine first. That's just the way it is and, I'm sorry, but if you disagree with it, you're free to roll your own 3.7 packages and use them to your heart's content. It will not be in cooker at this time. > if we will have openssh 3.6 in 9.2, then other updates for this package > in 9.2 must be merged with this version, and today 3.6 is obsolete and > support for updates for mdk packages must be two years (afaik).. > i think, this can be in meantime bigest problem as "only" 3-4 days > tested package.. Huh? Says who? Let's look at history: 8.2 came with 3.1p1; 3.6.1p2 was provided for updates today 9.0 came with 3.4p1; 3.6.1p2 was likewise provided today What makes you think that 9.1 will have 3.6.1p2 for the next 2 years? I don't think you bothered to look at how the updates work; please don't make blanket statements like this when they are so obviously incorrect. And, BTW, support is 18mos, not 2 years. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
