If so... There is a fundamental error. Debian Unstable is _never_ about being up to date, it is about packaging long-term solid software. Debian unstable and testing are _never_ meant for users at large, if we tell our users "use unstable" it is similar to saying "use software that might be very well broken", or "use Ubuntu" ;-) > I know for the Ubuntu/Debian packages we must make sure that we don't > break any thing in the upgrade on stable releases. > > And this is what the PPA and Debian Unstable is meant for. see what we can > fix before it enters on the next stable release.

Debian Unstable is a staging area to prepare the best version we can we are willing to support for ~24-36 months.

Well, the next thing under my radar to change (for which I have a Release Critical bug open) is to fix the configuration munging/handling during package updates. We should _never_ require the user to back up their configuration before upgrading - as breaking a configuration is something plain unacceptable. -- Gunnar Wolf • [email protected] • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
