All is in the subject. I have a partition with Netrunner in parallel with Maui. Security update are regularly received on Maui, I do not observed such events on Netrunner 17.10.
Am I missing a repository ?

Security Update

Debian has a separate repository for security updates, which is not in Netrunner by default. You have to add it manually. Check this:
https://www.debian.org/security/ But the question, to which I also don't know the answer, is: since cannot activate Debian Testing and Netrunner is not based on Stable, which security repository should we use? For each Debian release there is a separate one.
No, I doubt you are missing anything.
There's a debian security repo that pushes out patches quickly. You can read about it here. https://www.debian.org/security/ I just wait for these patches to get rolled into the debian testing repo. I suppose some conflict could arise between security repo and netrunner backports, but I cannot say. If you decide to add this security repo, please report back any issues you encounter.
So, it confirms to me I am not ready to move to Netrunner, and perhaps that Netrunner has a lot of work to do to reach the standard of Maui.
Many thanks to both of you. SM
If you want a stable Netrunner, install 17.06, switch the repos to Debian Stable and Stable security updates and upgrade the system. You will be on stable release then and will have a stable system, but will not have the continuous Plasma updates. It all comes with a price
 Debian as base doesn't provide such flexibility as Ubuntu. If you want a stable system with Plasma updates, go with KDE Neon.
wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting (Information worth reading)
Quote:If you are tracking testing or the next-stable code name, you should always have a corresponding deb http://security.debian.org <"testing" or codename>/updates main line in your /etc/apt/sources.list . Considerations Quote:Compared to stable and unstable, next-stable testing has the worst security update speed. Don't prefer testing if security is a concern. |
