Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 updated (r2)Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 updated (r2)Posted Nov 25, 2003 23:04 UTC (Tue) by ballombe (subscriber, #9523)In reply to: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 updated (r2) by JoeBuck Parent article: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 updated (r2) Due to the decentralised nature of Debian, making a new release is a two-step operation: 1) The updated packages are copied to the ftp master archive and 2) The CD-ROM isos are rebuilt and the documentation is updated. At this point the release is announced. The delay between 1) and 2) is normally than 48 hours. Unfortunately 1) happened Thursday (the day of the exploit), so Usually no one notice the delay between 1) and 2) because a minor release update normally make very few change that are not already in the security updates. This one carry more changes than usual because it was delayed for several months due to the difficulty of updating kernels on some architectures.
