For anyone who wants to join in, I installed buster using this guide (all my spare USB sticks are broken):
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch ... 03.html.en
There is an alpha3 version of the buster installer available:
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
Debian have requested artwork for the buster relase:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-a ... 00003.html
Note: the current version of xserver-xorg-core in buster (v2:1.20.1-5) is vulnerable to the X hole, the version in sid is fixed so to install that add this stanza to /etc/apt/preferences (or in a file under /etc/apt/preferences.d/):
Code: Select all
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 100
Once that is done, add the sid repositories (I prefer to use `apt edit-sources` to do this):
Code: Select all
deb https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian sid main
Code: Select all
# apt update
# apt install -t sid xserver-xorg-core
The Debian Security Tracker page is here: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tra ... 2018-14665
To keep track of which sid packages are on the system, install the apt-show-versions package and run
Code: Select all
apt-show-versions | grep /sid
Code: Select all
empty@buster:~ $ apt-show-versions | grep /sid
xserver-common:all/sid 2:1.20.3-1 uptodate
xserver-xorg-core:amd64/sid 2:1.20.3-1 uptodate
empty@buster:~ $
Happy testing!
