The announcement was sent around 2 hours before the updated package made it to the archive, however. As https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=php8.2&suite=bookworm-security shows, most of the package builds weren't complete until 15:50 UTC (having started at 14:11) or later (unless you were on armhf in which case you got it after about an hour). It then took a further 20 minutes or so for it to appear in the archive.

This is presumably because LTS doesn't have embargoed buildds, so the build can't start until the embargo period is up (unlike stable, where the packages were available as soon as the DSA was released).

This isn't normally a problem, but for such high-profile updates (especially of large packages that take hours to build), I wonder if it's worth either delaying the DLA until packages are available, or noting in the DLA that packages may not immediately be in the archive as they are currently being built.

That said, thank you to Guilhem for producing all the updates so quickly - I really appreciate it!

Best wishes,

Michael
