Hello all,
i would like to fix the library version for berkeley db in
the /packaging/debian directory. 4.5 is not available in etch, only
4.4. Dan changed in commit 2910 the libsnmp depends to unstable, so we
have apparently a conflict here.
I was under the impression that the debian tree was for unstable, while
debian-sarge was for debian stable. If it was for etch, my mistake, you
can revert them. However I need to mention that when the debian package
is built and uploaded, it'll be first uploaded into unstable. Nobody can
push new packages into debian stable unless they are security fixes. So
we still need a directory for debian unstable.
It would make sense to create a new directory "debian-etch" like the
available sarge dir, then changes for unstable would not conflict with
stable.
Probably it would make sense to replace debian-sarge with debian-etch
since sarge was replaced by etch as the stable distribution.
yes, agree, debian-etch should be the name for the stable version. If
someone wants to keep for debian-sarge, we can do so, it there are
volunteers. And indeed, all packages get first into the unstable.
However, this process is coordinated by Julien. We owe to make available
packages for the other distro via openser site, getting officially from
unstable to stable debian takes a while, some people don't want to wait.
Cheers,
Daniel
