Package: debian-installer-manual Version: sarge The web pages at www.debian.org have links along the left margin for "Documentation". Unfortunately, all those links lead to "stable" rather than "testing" documentation, with no option provided to get to the "testing" documents.
If you actually want people to test your "testing" release, then I suggest the home page should point people to it. If I go via the nonobvious route of following the "Read more about available versions of Debian" link on the home page, then I get a link for "testing". This is a general release information page, and provides no information about how to try downloading or installing it, and no link to the installation manual. So I tried going to the "stable" documentation and then manually replacing "stable" or "woody" in the URL with "testing" or "sarge". This didn't work either. It produced: http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/installmanual but this web page does not exist. I suggest that it should -- at least if you hope that people will try to install your Testing release! Instead, the pages appear (according to replies I got to an earlier bug report) to be maintained over here: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/ which is a totally non-obvious place for new Debian users. It was rumored to me that these non-obvious manuals are rebuilt daily, but there is no way to tell, since the manuals do not appear to have any timestamp information in them. Nor do they say what versions of the software (besides the nebulous "3.0+omega") they are documenting. They certainly have no 2004 copyright notices. Given that the "testing" release CD gets rebuilt weekly, perhaps having the manual describe "which weekly CD build it was last purported to document" would be a good thing.
