Re: [X2Go-User] [Debian repository] stable link points to buster instead of bullseye

2022-05-19 Thread Hakan Bayındır
I don’t think changing target names every 2-3 years is a big workload. I know 
it’s not the most ideal case, but this is how things are done in Debian.

On the other side, we can forget things, it’s not a big problem in my eyes. 
Also, updating everything correctly while targeting “suites” in Debian is nice. 
Stable is released? Nice. Will move everything with a single apt-get.

I personally use “suites” rather than codenames for almost two decades now, and 
it’s a much nicer experience.

Cheers,

H.

Then I'd remove the links completely although this is not very
Debianish. Or you keep the links and you will be remembered by a post on
this mailinglist ;-)

Ah, I forgot to change the symlinks when changing the configuration file.


This said, the links and configs are often outdated.

Please don't *ever* use keywords such as stable, oldstable or testing. Always
use the proper codename, like buster, bullseye or the like. Unstable and sid are
not moving targets, so both are fine, but everything else can vary in a bad way.
Codenames are guaranteed to be stable, while keywords are moving targets.
