I believe it is important that we use different repository names than the ones in Debian. Holgers claim that any confusion can be removed by just using 'uploaded to debian' instead of 'uploaded to sid' is not valid, as 'uploaded to debian' can mean a lot of things (experimental, *-proposed-updates, etc), while 'uploaded to sid' is specific. To avoid confusion and have specific names with a well known meaning, I believe our repositories need to have unique names.
Also, as we need to build our lenny packages using the dependencies from lenny, and not from debian/sid, it would be misleading to claim that we upload to 'sid' when in fact we are uploading to the equivalent of lenny-proposed-updates. What about using an 'edu-' prefix on our names? Like edu-lenny and edu-lenny-test / edu-lenny-proposed-updates? I must admit, I do not share Holgers view that the *-test names were a mistake, and fail to see how using the same names as in Debian can cause anything bug confusion. But I believe it is important that there is a well known mapping between Debian repository names and our names, so it is easy to see that our etch-based repositories is exactly that. Using something like edu-etch would give us that mapping. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinhoildtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
