Naming Debian Versions on debian.org web site.
Hi there, I've been using Debian since 2.x, but recently I was confused by (missing) namings on the debian web site: 1. Main Page http://www.debian.org/ (German): [10. Nov 2012] Helfen Sie uns bei der Wheezy-Veröffentlichung: Nehmen Sie an unserem BSP-Marathon teil [29. Sep 2012] Debian 6.0 aktualisiert: 6.0.6 veröffentlicht Last message speaks of wheezy (rhyming to squeeze, confusingly) which is 7.0 Below, Debian 6.0 is mentioned, but neither here nor in the 2. Download area http://www.debian.org/distrib/ the code name Squeeze is not used. There, not even the version number is printed. I think, as we don't want to loose interested users on the very first step, it should be discussed to mention always both version number and code name. What is your impression?

(As opposed to squeezy, which would indeed rhyme, but isn't a Debian release... :-) ) Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I quite agree, but I wonder whether users may be lost if we both display squeeze 6.0.2 and squeeze 6.0.5 (for example). What is your impression? That such interesting remark should be sent to the relevant -www list (the one indicated in the website footer). -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
