Debian GNU/Linux 3.1r5 has been released:
The Debian project is pleased to announce the fifth update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (codename `sarge'). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stable release, along with a few adjustment to serious problems. Those who frequently update from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.
Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 but only updates some of the packages included in the stable release. There is no need to throw away 3.1 CDs or DVDs but only to update against ftp.debian.org after an installation, in order to incorporate those late changes.
Upgrade CD and DVD images will be created soon. No new installation images will be created. Users are advised to update their system against an official Debian mirror after a new installation and update the kernel instead. For the next update new images are anticipated.
Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the apt package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:
http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
Miscellaneous Bugfixes
This stable update adds a few important corrections to the following packages:
Package Reason
exim Update description to reflect upgrade problems
glibc Update timezone data
openvpn Fix restart of openvpn in init script
pinball Get architectures back in sync
