This is both to keep things in sync once the + new version from unstable reaches testing, and to avoid + breaking secure-testing too badly with fixes that have not + been tested first in unstable.</li> + <li>Only make uploads for issues that the testing security + team plans to issue a DTSA announcement for.</li> + <li>Use a version number that is less than the version + number of the fix in unstable, but greater than the version + number of the fix in testing. For example, if the fix is in + a new upstream version 1.0-1 in unstable, upload version + 1.0-0.1etch1 to secure-testing. If the fix is in version + 1.5-10 in unstable, use version 1.5-9etch1 in + secure-testing.</li> + <li>Use "testing" as the distribution in the + changelog.</li> + <li>Build the package in a testing chroot using pbuilder + so that all the dependencies are ok.</li> + <li>Test the package.</li> + <li>Upload to <tt>secure-testing-master.debian.net</tt>. + Here is a dput.cf snippet for that upload queue: + <pre> + [secure-testing] + fqdn = secure-testing-master.debian.net + method = ftp + incoming = /pub/UploadQueue/ + login = anonymous + </pre> + </li> + </ol> + </p> + + <p> + Note that the above instructions are provisional until we get + everything set up. + </p> <h1>Members and contacting the team</h1>
