i don't know if i should be excited that !debian stable rarely sees updates, or concerned. :)

Went into work late as I'll be working late this evening. Was nice to sleep in a little after the nyquil knocked me out last night.

@eightyeight Stable is supposed to be just that, stable :) So you mainly only see backported important bug fixes (I think) & security fixes
-
@losinggeneration oh, i understand. it's the lack of security fixes coming down the pipe
-
@losinggeneration in otherwords, are there that little security concerns with stable, or are some getting overlooked? or just not reported?
-
@eightyeight It really depends on what you have installed. Apache2/PHP/MySQL seems to get a security fix every few weeks it seems.
-
@eightyeight Basically anything that is a security concern will get pushed to stable and testing as quickly as possible.
-
@eightyeight you should be able to find more info here on Debian's security policies: http://is.gd/cePw2
-
@eightyeight should be excited - Stable gets all known fixes - just shows that the !debian stable is just that
-
@eightyeight: Debian really "settles in" after a time. Killing my main Lenny install in a botched Squeeze dist-upgrade is something I regret
