What goes where, and why is ascii different from > jessie? Thanks. Questions about security updates come up regularly on d1g.
In my opinion they should be as follows: ascii-security: Debian stretch security updates, filtered so that if there is an older Devuan package it cannot be installed. ascii-updates: Remove, it serves no real purpose, or? ascii-proposed-updates: Devuan packages, not yet migrated into ascii. (similar to Debian packages in sid/unstable not yet merged into testing/buster. They do migrate to testing after normally 5-10 days if no RC bugs, etc blocks them) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
