Well, there seems to be no consistency in the thoughts behind the maintainers decisions. Perhaps Debian should provide some guidance? Another example, look at mod-security, it's got current stable (etch) pkgs in backports, and unstable packages in main. Maybe I'm not following the logic behind these decisions, if someone can point me to an FAQ I would appreciate it much. -Jim P. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
