Oh, sure, but what I meant is during preparation of a release. If during the freeze rebuilds are done, you only have the version that you ship anyways. > Are security updates supposed to be build using the most current source > package in stretch or the one specified in "Build-Using"? The version in Build-Using is added during building. So this field is updated during security builds to the latest version. The Build-Depends field determines (as always) which packages (potentially with version) to use for building. Nothing new here. Paul
