This directory contains the status of all Debian related security problems
that have been reported.
-Indices are created similarly to the News/ directory.
+From 12/2023 there's no manual work needed for the list of security announcements.
- Publishing a new advisory
- -------------------------
+The list of DSA/DLA is generated by mk-dsa-dla-list
+The oval files are generated by generate.py
-New advisories are stored by the security team in
-security.debian.org:/org/security.debian.org/advisories/DSA/
-The parse_advisory.pl script is used on these files in order to create the
-corresponding dsa-XXX.wml and dsa-XXX.data files, from which the advisory
-web pages are made.
-
-You can also use the text of the advisory as sent over the
-debian-security-announce mailing list if you have no access to security.d.o
-and no one of the security team has time to help you.
-Therefor you have to save the mail body in a file named
-dsa-<dsanum>-<revnum>.<pkgname>
-
-Usage:
- ./parse_advisory.pl [ -d ] <advisory_file>
-
-The option -d enables debug mode, meaning that the output is redirected
-to standard output (stdout).
-
- Updating an advisory
- --------------------
-
-When a new revision of an advisory is released, you would normally
-just edit the .wml and .data files to reflect the changes.
-However, if some packages have been added to the advisory it can be
-helpful to run parse_advisory.pl in a separate directory and copy the
-new URLs to the old advisory.
-You can specify the date of revisions in the report_date tag
-as comma-delimited list.
-
-If a new revision is released before the next report and within a
-short time after the preceding one (half a week or so), you
-probably want to replace the last date instead, because new revisions
-appear as separate entries in the list on security/index.
-
-The possibility to specify a comma-separated list in a report_date
-tag instead one date is new since 03/2003 and thus not used in
-advisories released before that. If you want to update the old
-advisories: Just do it! But this has no high priority.
-
- Translating an advisory
- -----------------------
-
-Don't translate the *.data files, only the *.wml files.
-
-In addition to translating the text of each advisory, you need to
-make sure that the translations in the ../po/security.xy.po file
-are up to date (the strings in the templates).
