Can we really go with some "perhaps" and "it works good for me" ? I'm thinking here just as an outsider (i'm using MozillaFirebird) that have the current debian policy in mind, And here are the choices i concluded to (might not be exhaustive) : 1) having the 1.3.x releases in unstable, and CVS snapshots in experimental. But the problem there would be most of the bugs will not be corrected in unstable, and the bug list for galeon will just grow up. and be marked : fixed in experimental (cvs snapshot). 2) having the cvs snapshot in unstable and it doesn't follow the current debian policy... 3) throw Galeon out of unstable, and only having the cvs snapshot in experimental... 4) having Galeon 1.2 in unstable... as it's considered "stable" upstream while Galeon 1.3 is considered "development". But from what i heard Galeon 1.2 debian package is left unmaintained and it would really be regressing... and is Galeon 1.2 really more stable than Galeon 1.3 ? And the packaging would be impossible since it requires a gtk1 Mozilla unavailable in unstable. And ftpmasters will never allow to have 2 Mozilla, just because of Galeon. Which one is the good idea ? Can't answer you. But we should just keep in mind the debian policy : we want things to be really stable, but does it means to throw away some (loved) piece of software ? But well for the moment the 1st choice seems to be the better, just like the Gimp 1.3 for example. But there's a lot of chance that Galeon will not be shipped with Sarge, because it's development (just as Gimp 1.3), it might be a pain to think that, but should we really ship sth incomplete and not considered stable ? For me, those development software cannot be shipped with a stable debian. Or maybe a lot of people will join the Galeon dev team to help them reach the 2.0 release in a couple of weeks ? ^_^ Julien
