What took so long by PowerBert · 2003-10-29 03:47 · Score: 0, Troll

I posted this to /. 24 hours ago.
Right after openpkg.org made their security alert on bugtrack.
The new code was released very very quickly and was available about 20 hours ago.
For some reason the apache front page has only just been updated.
It seems to take longer to announce a new version than to build one.
