[ please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to this list ] Hello,
I would like to inform you about annoying bugs in woody's cd images: bugs #157014 and #161431. Briefly, if you install woody from CD, your CDs will appear in sources.list as 'unstable' and the packages will seem to come from 'testing' (as reported by apt-show-versions). This breaks apt preferences and is confusing to newbies who heard about stable, testing and unstable and expect they have installed stable. I believe the fix could be simple. Maybe the cause of packages appearing to be from testing is that in dists/woody/main/binary-i386/Release file it reads Archive: testing. (However, I haven't tried to fix it and see if it helps. Somebody with deeper knowledge of the Debian archive should probably immediately see if it's the cause or not.) I'm not familiar with apt-cdrom's working, so I can't suggest any fix for the secong bug. It would be good to fix those bugs before the release of debian 3.0r1.
