Are you comparing in the general case of packages in Debian and in Ubuntu? I think it's possible to manage software with a trunk for development and regular "snapshots" of this trunk for either a Debian/unstable or an Ubuntu upload or both. (I agree on what you said for uploads to testing or stable.) -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
