Dear Maintainer,

Could you document that you embded a few tar ball under the security tracker ?
For oldstable/stable/unstable

Version should be documented.

Moreover you do not document where you downloaded these file a comment under
copyright will be helpful (README.source say how to retrieve it not the link to
get).

Thanks

Bastien

Since when is that serious? It isn't. There have been no complains from
anyone in the security team in any of the last security updates?

(None of which affected any of the internal copies used,)

The policy says "should". And it it it followed.

The most stuff isn't used as internal code copies, only the unavoidable
ones is. And TTBOMK the security team DOES know it.

You mean I should send MRs to it?

The fetch it manually and put it there.  (Which normally would be done
from upstreams build systeem for ALL tarballs, even those not used..)

(It basically always is https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/ (which
mirrors stuff they got from the website):

Makefile:        $(call
fetch_Download_item_unchecked,https://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/$(shell
echo $(gb_LO_VER) | sed -e
"s/\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/"),libreoffice-$(i)-$(gb_LO_VER).tar.xz))


Regards,


Rene

I have reason to complain security wise

Yes I know

I will really prefer that we download from upstream
