I received this today.
My question is:
Why do we get the security notifications so much later than when the
correction was done?=20
For those of use who do minitor the -cvs-all/ -stable and do UPDATEs on
almost a weekly basis, isn't this far much overtaken by events.
Someone cares to explain this to me? Why this late?
Thanks
