Is there a valid reason to advertise squeeze-lts as "squeeze-lts" and not as "squeeze"? http://security.debian.org/dists/squeeze/updates/Release says "squeeze" and not "squeeze-security" or something like that. I would like that the squeeze-lts repository advertise itself as "squeeze" codename because right now if someone has an APT pinning saying to prefer "squeeze" packages, and if s/he add the squeeze-lts repository, s/he won't get updates from squeeze-lts. Maybe we can change the label to "Debian-LTS" to match what has been done for security.debian.org with "Debian-Security" so that we have an easy way to pin based on that if someone needs to pin squeeze-lts specifically. I noticed that because someone added this to the wiki and it seems just wrong to have to do this: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using#Check_apt.conf_for_legacy_release_pinning Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Discover the Debian Administrator's Handbook: → http://debian-handbook.info/get/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
