I have this running in my of= fice for a little while and it seems to be a solid update. It also has a lot = of security fixes, so please give it a good test that we can hopefully releas= e this in two weeks. indeed, Core Update 181 seems to work fine without any hiccups whatsoever. :-) > * For the following update(s): what do we have in the pipeline? Just to coo= rdinate that we don=E2=80=99t have too much in one update :) Unless we have more pressing things on our agenda, I remember Adolf saying that there are still a couple of packages, particularly libraries, which he did not had the resources to work through. At some point, it might be sensible to have something like a distributed mini-hackathon to ensure that everything we include is at least roughly up to date, and if it's just by slicing the package list and distribute the shares. :-) At some point, I had the idea to keep an eye on various security advisories published by other distributions to identify non-prolific packages with important updates that might otherwise have flown under our radar, but this approach never worked well... Aside from updating, I recall Stefan working on porting firewall groups to ipset a while ago. Perhaps this is something we can then focus on to push out of the door next? Just my two cents. I currently do not have anything major on my docket list for IPFire 2.x. :-) All the best, Peter M=C3=BCller --===============4656808894038910348==--
