Hi Debian users, I have question regarding the Debian release cycle. The packages from unstable stay for few days before moving to testing. Can someone enlighten me, what do the packages do in the testing? Debian release circle can be 1-2 years. Do the packages need to stay for such long time in the testing?
For example, if package A version 1.0 enters unstable. Ten days later, it moves to testing. Six months later, package A release version 1.1. which goes directly to unstable. Ten more days later, it moves to testing. What happened to the previous version 1.0 in testing? If every packages in testing experience this, when can the distro be released? Why not just put 6 months - 1 year release plan. Just some time before the release just fix everything in the testing and release the distro?
