I've pushed a fix for CVE-2015-7547 to the master branch, although Hydra has not fully rebuilt it. I directed Hydra to build the most popular packages first, and with greater effort devoted to x86_64, so my hope is that most of what typical desktop users need is already built on x86_64. Still, it is likely that you'll need to compile some things locally. i686 is not as fully built, so users will probably need to do some more compiling, but hopefully it is manageable. I was able to fully update my Xfce desktop system on i686 anyway. As I write this, the rebuilds of armhf and mips64el are considerably less advanced, so be prepared for a significant amount of local recompilation. We'll prioritize getting grafts working properly soon, so that we can deploy security updates to core libraries much more quickly in the future. Thanks, Mark
