I track testing by default, but in fact, I have a mix of testing and unstable packages (I often use "apt-get -t unstable" when I want to get the latest version of a package, e.g. when some bug is fixed or before reporting a bug, to test the latest version too). Now, the point of newer version checking in reportbug is to inform the user that he doesn't have the latest version of the package and that the bug he's seeing may have already been fixed (in which case there's no need to report a bug). So, I think that reportbug should look at unstable, or at least the latest release amongst those listed by "apt-cache policy", probably excluding "experimental" (those who want to check "experimental" would probably use advanced or expert mode, I suppose), or this could be configurable. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
