As Bas said, we are currently (ab)using "testing" as "experimental" for
UbuntuGIS.
This means that currently we use this workflow:
OSGeoLive nightly --> UbuntuGIS Testing --> UbuntuGIS Unstable -->
UbuntuGIS Stable
Please upload new packages to Testing.
Cheers,
Angelos

I remember that there was a discussion about that, unfortunately I
cannot find it. So sorry for asking again. My question is about
providing RCs packages of GRASS via ubungugis PPA. My idea is to use
unstable PPA for providing RCs.
* when RC is released it goes into unstable
* when final version is released it goes into unstable and testing
Make this approach sense to you or you prefer to provide RCs via
private PPA like [1]. Thanks for answer, Martin
Release candidates should not go into ubuntugis-unstable in my opinion,
just like they generally don't go into Debian unstable.
The should be uploaded to ubuntugis-experimental like they are uploaded
to Debian experimental until the final release (assuming no transition
is required).
The ubuntugis-testing repository is currently abused for this purpose,
but it should be renamed to ubuntugis-experimental because it no longer
matches the Debian package transition flow which the UbuntuGIS PPAs
mirrored:
[experimental ->] unstable -> testing -> stable
Breaking users systems with pre-releases uploaded to ubuntugis-unstable
may not be a bad idea though, to encourage users to not use it for
production purposes who should stick to stable releases on their systems.
Kind Regards,
Bas
