Re: **maillist-work:: Re: [suse-security] Samba 2.2.8

Usually the version of a software is not upgraded in a SuSE (and most other distributions), but the security fixes are backported to the version that was in the stable release (of SuSE). I guess SuSE will run some internal tests if the software package still works and then put the updated package and anoucement to public. I consider 4 days not too bad compared with other distributions (ok debian only needed around one day for an updated package). peace (well sigh), Tom Ivan Gustin wrote:

But, why it takes so long (4-5 days)? This is serious security update. Is there some extra work after recompiling?
