[Secure-testing-team] Does Lenny have secure testing support?

Hi Jason,

I forgot about the wiki page :-(, but I have now updated it.

I think so. Most build daemons were fixed in the second half of May 
(all except alpha, powerpc, and mipsel). There have been a number of 
security updates, too.

Alpha, powerpc, and mipsel seem to have been fixed in the last two 
days.

Yes, glibc migrated, which helped a lot. All in all the security of 
lenny is now much better than one month ago.

However, security support for lenny is not of the same quality as for 
stable. We will try to find an appropriate definition at DebConf next 
week.

Cheers,
Stefan
