As a matter of policy, are -stable packages updated for security fixes? I know that used to be the case, but as of today (40 days after 4.2 was released), there are *no* 4.2-stable package updates shown at http://www.openbsd.org/pkg-stable.html. In contrast, there are 183 4.1-stable updates shown (accumulated over the roughly 7 months from 4.1-release to now), and 249 4.0-stable updates shown (presumably accumulated over the year from 4.0-release to the end of 4.0-stable updates when 4.2 was released), and my memory of past releases (going back some years) is of a similar steady trickle of -stable package updates (often described as security fixes).
So, am I just "lucky" that no bugs-important-enough-for-stable-updates have been found in any 4.2 packages yet? Is there somewere other than http://www.openbsd.org/pkg-stable.html that I should be watching if I want to keep -stable packages up to date with security fixes? ciao, -- -- Jonathan Thornburg (remove -animal to reply) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> School of Mathematics, U of Southampton, England "Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral." -- quote by Freire / poster by Oxfam
