Can we put the text below online somewhere on the security pages? I get those questions a bit too often these days so it would be nice if there was a page I could point people to.
Wichert. security FAQ thingies Q: The signature on your advisories does not verify correctly A: This is most likely a problem on your end. The debian-security-announce list has a filter that only allows messages with a correct signature from one of the security team members to be posted. Most likely some piece of mail software on your end slightly changes the message that breaks the signature. Make sure your software does not do any MIME encoding or decoding or tab/space conversions. Q: Why are there no official mirrors for security.debian.org? A: The purpose of security.debian.org is to make security updates available as quickly and easily as possible. Mirrors would add extra complexity that is not needed and can cause frustration if they are not up to date. Q: How can I reach the security team? A: Security information can be send to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is read by all Debian developers. If you have sensitive information please use [EMAIL PROTECTED] which only the members of the security team read. If desired email can be encrypted with the Debian Security Contact key (key ID 363CCD95). -- _________________________________________________________________ / Nothing is fool-proof to a sufficiently talented fool \ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.liacs.nl/~wichert/ | | 1024D/2FA3BC2D 576E 100B 518D 2F16 36B0 2805 3CB8 9250 2FA3 BC2D |
