I have heard the argument "yes, we are keeping pace with security updates,
but when R.H.&co. need update it does not mean we need it" before, and I
think it is a peace of crap.
If you realy do it, then please post:
"Today, XY distribution has posted a security update for Z package. We
have checked the Z' Mandrake package and found out that the given bug does
not affect our distribution".
XY would mean Red Hat, and to a lesser extend "SuSe", "Debian" and
whatever distribution succeedes to become "important" in future.
It would be even better if you would do it before the other distributions
and come out with:
"The bug A affecting B as reported in bugtrack does not affect Mandrake
package B'."
As it is, other distributions announce updates and you announce nothing at
all. My best quess in this situation is and stays: "they do not bother."
Sincirely yours
Denis
