debian

Today I thought about a possibility to make automatical package updates for security issues in Debian. You know the problem that you want to fix your packages as fast as possible if you notice an update by the security team? Sometimes it can be too late if you fix the package 5 hours after release. So apt-cron is no solution.

Correct me if something for this problem exists. No I have the plan to write a daemon which checks the RSS feed or a subscription to debian-security-announce in a specified time interval updates the packages automatically if they are installed. So you will have a minimun delay after the DSA was posted.

Any ideas, flames etc.?
