It certainly did happen, ogra. It's just that there are still a significant number of packages that didn't pass the more rigorous requirements imposed by the movement to official, and we still have to provide support for those in Hoary's world. <div>On 9/25/05, Oliver Grawert <<a href="mailto:ogra@ubuntu.com">ogra@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> hi, Am Sonntag, den 25.09.2005, 16:11 +0200 schrieb Martin Pitt: > The security update is fine, the problem is that you use backports, > which are screwed up in Hoary.
