Thank you for your explanation. I think I understand - but I am not
certain.
Does this mean, in practice, that devel (=community) is the better one,
and should be the default branch to install? If community has bugfixes,
and official does not, then is there ever any point installing official?
My understanding was that:
1)community was a short-lived branch
2)At the time of release of 2006 offical, all 3 branches
(community,official,cooker) are in sync.
3)After the release,
cooker becomes unstable
community stops entirely
4)A month or so before the next release, community is re-activated.
Is there *any* documentation explaining what is going on? I'd be
grateful for a pointer!
Thanks very much,
Richard
P.S. I am trying to write some documentation for mandrake on thinkpad -
so I'd really like to get my facts totally straight! I hope to have it
on the web by the new year...
