No upload is done to testing, which means there is NOT a list for testing. But you can store the mail you get for unstable, and look through it to find the changelog for whatever you are going to install into testing. And anything that shows up in unstable should move to testing eventually (actually, since part of testing is frozen right now, this might mean quite a big wait). apt-listchanges is also an extremely useful tool for tracking packages, as is the new apt-show-versions (in unstable). -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

central repository of changelogs for debian packages?
I'm running unstable and am trying to balance the constant flow of updates with conserviing bandwidth. Typically, I do an apt-get update once a week and see what packages have been changed. Is there a way to easily and quickly tell what has changed from debian package to debian package? (i.e. short of downloading the source of each package and reading the changelog.) I'm looking for something like the packages search page on debian.org, but that also includes changelogs for debian-specific revisions. (such as going from xserver-xfree86 4.1.0-9 to 4.1.0-10) Does such a beast exist? --kurt
changelogs for debian packages
Either I'm blind, or the changelogs for debian packages are not part of the packages. It would be nice if they were, so that when an upgrade takes place, the user could see what has changed from one version to the next without having to download the source and unpack it to find out. -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 5 days.

I think this goes for both changes in the original program distribution, _and_ changes to the debian packaging (last digit of the debian number). I've been just letting dselect update everything and I never know what's changing! ...RickM...
