Please read the changelog.
And test this pre-release of Wordpress 1.5 for Debian SID. Email me and Teo about serious problems. Although I do not think I will be able to fix them…
Since Internet where I am is so bad, I couldn’t check if the vulnerabilities in Wordpress 1.2 have been fixed. 
I hope Teo will smooth things over. I put myself as maintainer (I have been doing the last couple of updates), although this may need a NMU. 
First impressions of Wordpress 1.5 are not great. I still have 1000+ comments that need moderating and interface still seems to suck. I need to regex all those poker/sex shit out of there. Apologies to my comment posters.
Ok, I am going for a dip in the pool to cool down.
I highly recommend Spamkarma – http://www.unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma
Its not let one spam comment through for me.
About that poker/sex shit and the poker club .. I’m sure you have already known taht you can plug a plugin into your wordpress, they work great. I myself use Spam Karma (use google or browse the plugin section on wordpress.org). It’s pretty nice, the installationis staright froward, and it blocks the spams for me, silenty .. a personal spam assasin, just for you and your blog
.. happy maintaining WP for Debian ..
Uh oh, Spaminator is another alternative (used by default on blogthing.com)
Took some time out and updated the wordpress package. I wish I could have done this earlier and now I think I have pissed off Moray Allan and Teo. Perhaps even Debian security, oh hell the package is not even in testing.
I am satisfied that the security issues have been dealt with.
I’ve installed Spam Karma and as usual not impressed. Tons of options I care less about. So in the end I marked all my comments as spam, went through them quickly searching for friends and killed exactly 1000 comments as spam. I am leaving “spam karma” on, so readers try comment and any problems, please mail me.
