Re: Some suggestion
2011/12/2 pei deng walleker...@gmail.com: I think debian should release a publish version with roll updating as archlinux. and remove testing and sid version. because 'roll' is really a very good mechanism for software publish and test. And how would then Debian continue releasing stable? Debian is especially known for its stable release (prolly too much for it). Also there are some problems with rolling releases - something may break at unexpected point of time (just like in testing/unstable/experimental). Without Sid we wouldn't have testbed for updates/upgrades making system much less stable overall - and by then you could as well use Arch. Besides you can use Testing as (kind-of) rolling distribution (or if you want slightly newer packages then Sid or Sid/Experimental (I was using Sid/experimental for long time, and it worked nicely, until I tried playing with Linux containers (land of brevity, especially when you don't know what you are doing) on my main system). There was proposal for Constantly-Usable-Testing (CUT) as another release of Debian, but I don't know too much about it. darkestkhan -- Feel free to CC me. jid: darkestk...@gmail.com May The Source be with You. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

2011/12/2 Игорь Пашев pashev.i...@gmail.com: +1. Also there is no much difference between unstable and testing. 2011/12/3 Mike Dupont jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com so what is the difference, I am using unstable and it rolls mike Testing/Unstable/Experimental are kind-of rolling - it is rolling two months after release and somewhere to middle of soft freeze. Outside of this time frame it is too many changes introduced (after release) or too low number of changes (mainly stabilization of system, after soft freeze). Personally I don't believe rolling is so needed as a release - for me it seems it is more of fashion than actual need. darkestkhan -- Feel free to CC me. jid: darkestk...@gmail.com May The Source be with You. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
