my personal situation is: - - i use Debian - - i (need to) use bleeding edge tools this obviously makes my a user of testing/sid (trying to avoid experimental as i historically had some problems with that - and if only is about stalling while fetching tons of Packages updates for the one or two packages i actually use). so i can use bleeding edge tools whenever they enter sid, which means that they probably will enter stable at some future time (any package entering sid should reach stable somewhen; some don't, but that's not how it *should* be). but if a package is unfit for stable due to un-existing long term maintenance, it will never show up in sid :-( your suggestion with using experimental suggest a way to fix that problem. however, i'm not sure whether the number of users going on through the hazzle of enabling experimental would make up for the additional maintenance burden. fgmasdr IOhannes PS: ah; that was probably adding nothing new to the discussion; but then i'm under the impression that few posts do; e.g. i think we can come up with anecdotal evidence against any documented reason why an upstream decided to use one library or the other -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVWZaTAAoJELZQGcR/ejb4bVsQAIs2Pdw29CTM2S6br98a4XMP VPPO7ymNxa1j2CZfKMMi8svBUtsCLu4qHKy6uMHBtfPvXIVgow3OuE8e1HU/8rZe 2uOnwEU3mLfDqdW7NJPcWXRXbeN4tTo50R1dD74MzKAumMR8W4RzF6L1D0OQjVP3 AFbTL1PRdgXReFbxORQpXPybX+CgMh2MoyxT4GPO/nv8t2mNykExo+7xedKbfOPZ JVVJq8Z1hSime5PdmGCngrBBSJ/7CrxtLqe4bzxbByoliUy/qBmVBzF8TTP1Kj9C qc9Ax2HnRXxHzg15xYdDKqyVgtgEgXbFaQJZYU+2j/wLwQzSlNdxbAPslmaKvoiA UKEJqxUyZGw6yQq0W2xDpXb7iC7WxDJuBxnqEk9BdYs2stj9LcJWx+1nGjkJIuny 5KCRZ9d/nAjauMNEPKPwUi0z8IuSiJ788tpNkqamKmrows+7AoaUB/OGqpRBaGQg EoUl1tzd2pDCGyc9wW6tqRHQdHFyp36ettQKfMi4Q9BvMkZAO1x3FSRIL9PMFETb Z33uGW7nGNv0Wzk+M6NHTg2lLZpoFmGIQ3zcmLJjdLrIITa00Wx8kEghLecUjNZm 7dOamTUeW+i/fG72D/GB6uzDnDXJ46+M9eaBwq2qX9B63FVvwmnio2bpXpXF6l8q 153O/CO8ZLD/nLcz0ZqL =ADCZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
