LMDE and Security Updates Availability
Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 12:41 pm
This is a theoretical question, not necessarily applicable to any current situation.
I'm using LMDE-XFCE tracking Latest. I understand the concept behind the 3 tier tracking (and, for what it's worth, think it's a reasonable response), and I understand the current situation with respect to the lack of the normal (?) month-ish updates.
My question is: When a "security update" floats down from the upstream sources, one that is at least a "high impact" update (say, a major Flash vulnerablity, just for example), will the LM team issue an update outside the normal Update Pack cycle, or hold it for the normal UP release?
