outsiders

"This morning I announced the availability of bzr branches for every source package in Ubuntu". This should be a very powerful tool for ubuntu developers.

Should also make it easier for outsiders to provide patches and fix bugs.

The Debian Project has announced "Debian Pure Blends" - essentially a rebranding of the concept formerly known as "custom Debian distributions." "We realised that the old name Custom Debian Distributions just sended the wrong message to outsiders: The conclusion that CDDs are something else than Debian was too 'obvious' if people did not read the relevant documentation." It looks a lot like Fedora's "Spins," but without the worry about what deserves to be called a "Pure Blend" and what does not.

A serious security flaw in Mac OS X opens machines with Apple's Safari Web browser to hijack by outsiders, Secunia has warned.
