• Miscellaneous and Questions

  • 12:15 < sbeattie> jdstrand: do you want to give the link in the wiki where the weekly set lives?
    12:16 < jdstrand> the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/HighlightedPackages
                      is updated weekly
    12:16 < jdstrand> our GettingInvolved page includes this page
    12:16 < jdstrand> and dholbach will be incorporating that into his
                      pages/community work

  • 12:17 < micahg> there was a question over the weekend about sun java updates in
                    hardy, it's in multiverse, I was wondering if the team is
                    willing to sponsor updates with a server leaning for hardy
                    still even in multiverse
    12:18 < jdstrand> micahg: we (the security team) will not be providing updates.
                      sun java is in partner now, and iamfuzz is the person who is
                      in charge of updating this, so would be the best person to ask
    12:19 < jdstrand> that said, we would be happy to sponsor updated packages
