Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi,
Package repository's README (e.g. http://ftp.debian.org/debian/README ) says > This directory, dists, is the canonical way to access the distributions. > Each distribution can be accessed by name or state from here. > > oldstable, or wheezy - the released Debian 7.11 > stable, or jessie - the released Debian 8.5 > ... $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free How about to be enabled to specify it as > oldstable, wheezy or Debian7 - the released Debian 7.11 > stable, jessie or Debian8 - the released Debian 8.5 $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ Debian8 main contrib non-free Pros) - It's more easier to understand which version we're using now. (sometimes people forget which codename is which version ;) Cons) - need changes to code (I don't know it's much or not) - ? -- Hideki Yamane <[email protected]>
