How about this.... Future dselect has a feature that will query a database on the net (you set the server) and come back and mark all packages that are listed as security concerns.
This would be done by linking right into the security/bug reporting systems. It would also be nice to be able to run it at intervals (like weekly with cron) and send the admistrator an alert if he has a security concern installed. Good idea, huh?!?!?! No I'm not willing to work on it, and no I have not thought out the fine details, but I think it would be very useful and give Debian another sticking point as the 'De Facto Linux ISP Distribution'. Chew on it and see how it tastes.... ------------------------------------------------------------------ Elite MicroComputers 908-541-4214 http://www.psychosis.com/emc/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
