suite is the Debian Archive Kit (katie) terminology, just like 'component' for main, contrib, non-free. This provides less clashes with other terminology, like "distribution" meaning "Debian", and "section" (as policy calls the components) is actually used for things like 'devel', 'utils', 'gnome' -- the Section: header in source and binary packages (policy calls these subsections). But then, the way to specify a suite in a .changes is by setting the Distribution: header... It'd be good if there was more unification in terminology, but lacking that, at least without programs/policy, terminology should be internally consistent. So for now at least, distribution in policy, suite in dak. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
