not sure, but you might have guessed it, stable will not see frequent updates to released packages. This way users can rely that security and other updates will not change the behavior of deployed packages. For getting new packages into stable inclusion of updated package in the backport.org archive can be considered. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
