--tThc/1wpZn/ma/RB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi all, I'd like to bring the security advisories into the www/ CVS repository for better accesibility and change management. Future advisories will go on WWW initially; we can either try and get ftp-master to also check out the advisories from CVS, or we can replace the FTP advisories directory with a set of symlinks to a file telling people to look at the website (i.e. to take care of external links pointing to the FTP advisories). See http://www.freebsd.org/~kris/security-new.tgz for my proposed redesign of the en/security directory (this also includes some other markup/content changes to the security.sgml which should probably be looked over by a WWWWeenie :-) We have to leave the current patches/ and tools/ directories on the FTP site because of all the existing links in advisories. I'd like to bring future patches and tools into CVS as well; but a problem is that we'll probably need to distribute binary upgrade packages with future advisories -- I'm not sure where they should go. It would be nice if they were mirrored to other WWW mirrors so they can be locally obtained. Something else we'll need is a way to rebuild the www.freebsd.org/security directory on the website when we release an advisory; if we're using WWW as the primary distribution mechanism then the updated files need to be live at the time of release. I'm not sure how this can be most easily accomplished (I have root on the freebsd.org machines, but some of the others who release advisories don't).
