I searched the wiki, I checked the cssu, I find similar questions asked before https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.ph...curity+updates.

A valid answer to my questions could be: cssu is all there is needed for security to be as updated as is for you possible.

If that is a valid answer. It is if there is nothing more to do, no more patches around, no more fixes, no more updates or possible solutions. But if there are, then it is wise to make such a page.

So my suggestion is: If there is someone who knows about the state of N900 security could it be possible that you make a wiki page of it?

The header could be "Updated stage of N900 security"

The topics (which I know but there are probably more) would have:

CSSU security

CSSU testing security

CSSU devel security

Certificate updates for browser and device

Openssl

Setting proxy (in wiki there is a header "Needs updating" and a link to talk page without content)

There are probably many more things too.

And the content could be on different topics: not secure state with a definition why. Then if someone knows a fix it could be fixed and changed the state of the topic with instructions how to fix/update.

Or as I said in my post is the right answer to my questions "Don't bother, just wait for leste". That may well be the best answer. When leste comes it will (I think it should) have it's own pages with fresh start and updated wiki. For many things it is probably possible to just copy instructions from the maemo wiki and adjust the wiki where needed.

Maybe I just stay with my device to wait leste. I think that is the right answer for in some conversations it is said that N900 with closed source stuff it is just not possible to get what you want. So cssu and easy debbie with netsurf 3.8 is the best bet for secure browsing and there is not much more to think about at this moment.

I really hope Leste would bring more devs back or new ones also.
