- svc0 3y agoJust to be clear, on Arch ffmpeg is outdated (6.0 vs 6.1.) This means it has three security vulnerabilities.
- panarky 3y agoDebian's ffmpeg is at 6.1, no subscription nonsense required.
- viraptor 3y agoIt's not the case for this example of ffmpeg (it's actually not patched), but make sure to check the actual changelog. Sometimes the version is kept, but the patches are backported, so a plain version comparison is not enough.
- diffeomorphism 3y agoThat is also absolutely unchanged compared to "since forever". Canonical supports "main", while "universe" and "multiverse" offer best-effort community support (aka from debian). They now additionally offer a dedicated team for those repos. Honest question, since the arch wiki seems surprisingly spotty on this: Which arch repos are covered by their security team? Just core? Or also extra? More than that? AUR surely not, right?
- guappa 3y agoNot even "from debian". Sometimes they can't be bothered to copy debian packages that fix security issues if the package is in universe, and just leave it vulnerable for the entire duration of the LTS. Happened to me.
