Security packages in Ubuntu

Dear LazyWeb,

AFAIK Ubuntu is using http://security.ubuntu.com to provide security updates for its packages. What about security section under http://archive.ubuntu.com ? It will be dropped if favor of http://security.ubuntu.com ?

I’ll apreciate any information about that.

Thanks!

    AFAIK security updates are distributed to the local mirrors, but mirrors are not guarenteed uptodate.

    I’m using my local country mirror (nl.archive) for the security updates.

    please keep using planet for such questions. I already knew, but I think it are interesting questions to read and get answered.
