Since cherokee is a fast moving target and many new cherokee - ubuntu/debian users want the lattess is why I propose 2 PPA instead of flagging the package For example: once the ssl/tls issue is solved let's say in the 1.0.6 and is as stable as the 1.0.1 and no more bugs found the 1.0.6 will be moved to the stable PPA where we will have 1.0.6 as stable and devel Once 1.0.7 is released will be on the devel ppa and if no bugs are found lets say for 5 days or no next day new release it will be moved to the stable PPA no matter really how big changes were introduced because we got a great cherokee.conf update Then Once the devel is moved to stable we can push it to debian unstable doing this we can guarantee that production servers using the stable PPA will have the best cherokee we can offer. And Debian Unstable will have a release ready package and do backports for Debian lenny This is why Debian Unstable still does not have 1.0.5 package If someone wants the lattest and greates packate use the devel PPA. If someone wants the lattest production ready use the stable PPA or Debian Unstable package. What to you think is the best aproach for cherokee and it's users for me 2 PPA? Want package flagging ? Want 2 PPA ? If you want flagging let's do flagging Saludos -- Leonel Nunez http://enelserver.com http://enelserver.com/leonel/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
