help in sarge testing-stable
Hi, I'm running sarge, but I would like to keep using the testing distribution, also after the release. Do you think there will be any kind of problem in the transition between sarge and the new testing? I mean, should I just upgrade my system and everything should work, or there are some important changes I have to deal with? sorry if the question was stupid. thanks Alberto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

As long as you have 'testing' instead of 'sarge' in your sources.list everything should work fine. I suspect that since sarge is now frozen, there will be a build up of packages in 'sid' awaiting transition to testing once 'etch' become testing. So immediately after sarge goes stable you will experience a large upgrade of packages. I suggest you have 'apt-listbugs' installed prior to that so that you can make sure that nothing vital is going to break.

May I point you to the FAQ I have written in the past and hosted at http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/debian_choosing_distribution.html In particular you might be interested in Q13 - What happens when a new release is made? Q15 - I am currently tracking testing (sarge). What happens when a release is made? Will I still be tracking testing or will my machine be running the new stable distribution? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
